N2 - Students spend 30 % of their lives indoors; therefore, a healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for their well-being and academic performance in Higher Education Institutions. This review highlights the interventions for improving Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in Higher Education Institutions classrooms considering climate change by discussing ventilation techniques, phytoremediation, and building features designed to improve noise levels, thermal comfort, lighting and to reduce odor. Awareness and literacy are enhanced through the student's engagement by offering real-time monitoring knowledge of Indoor Environmental Quality using inexpensive smart sensors combined with IoT technology. Eco-friendly strategies are also highlighted to promote sustainability.
