Abstract
This report is a result of a long master thesis project, accomplished by the group of Indoor Environmental and Energy Engineering students from Aalborg University. The main goal of the project was to design and develop Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment scheme together with the development of the measuring unit prototype - a manikin. With the realization how challenging and interdisciplinary venture is ahead, project group decided on collaboration with a group of Computer Science students on the measuring unit data acquisition system. Project group succeeded in developing a comprehensive IEQ scoring system that is able to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the indoor environment. Although it is based on broad literature review, long-term evaluation is required to validate its outcome in various spaces. Since it was expected that not all of the project goals will be met, in required time frame, project group tried to adopt modular approach during work, to allow modification and further expansion of the assessment method itself as well as the prototype. The prototyping process is described and project progress evaluated up to the stage that was possible to accomplish before the submission date.
