“…In his 2012 study, Betuz [17] measured temperature, relative humidity, CO2, and air velocity in a classroom and a design studio of a college building and identified problems with temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 accumulation due to the lack of sufficient fresh air in the winter period. In his 2014 study, Avci [18] measured the parameters of temperature, humidity, CO2, and particulate matter for the assessment of indoor air quality in college buildings, statistically evaluated the results, and recommended the necessary changes. In a 2008 study, Stranger, et al [19] measured in-ground particulate matter in the interiors and exteriors of 27 elementary schools and found a high concentration of benzene, particularly in the lower floors.…”

This study involved the measurement of air temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 levels in both open and closed circumstances of windows and doors, both indoors and outdoors, during educational activities in a higher education institution classroom. Air temperature and relative humidity measurements were found to be within the range of 21.36 to 26.97°C and 42.94 to 55.16%, respectively. These values have been determined to be within acceptable comfort levels, according to the literature. The CO2 concentration has been determined to increase with the number of people in the classroom and, in some cases, exceed the level of 1000 ppm, which is accepted as a general limit value, before the end of the course period. It has been determined that if the experiment is not terminated when the CO2 level rises above 1000 ppm, the CO2 level will reach even higher values depending on the elapsed time. The maximum level of CO2 was measured at 1404 ppm among the CO2 measurement data recorded before the end of the experiment. In addition, it has been determined that as the outside air intake increases, the concentration of CO2 accumulated inside decreases. This finding suggests that ventilation is necessary in fully enclosed spaces. The number of people in the class has been determined to be 35 in order to be safe in terms of CO2 levels in the activities carried out in the classroom where the research was carried out.

With the increasing population in the world, individual vehicle ownership is increasing day by day. The increase in individual vehicle ownership causes heavy traffic jams in the city centers. In addition to traffic congestion, noise pollution, harmful gas emission, parking lot problems also increase. Besides, the fact that most of the vehicles use petroleum derivatives, which are a depleted energy source, pose big problems for the economy. In this context, various studies are carried out to reduce the use of individual vehicles and to prevent the mentioned problems. One of these studies is the carsharing system. In this study, the applicability of the vehicle sharing system was investigated by surveys of Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality personnel. The city is divided into certain regions, taking into account the locations of individuals' homes. Later, the carsharing model was created with the mobile application designed for individuals living in the region. Monthly total economic gain and savings per individual were calculated in the analysis made as a result of the model. Thanks to the study, it has been revealed that the carsharing system within the institutions provides feasibility and many advantages.
