Summary
Traditionally, building ventilation systems are designed to maintain thermal comfort while controlling CO2 concentrations and odours. Effective removal of indoor-generated contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials is generally not a design criterion in office buildings. The authors present a computational fluid dynamics model for estimating VOC exposures in a room with different emission sources, sinks and ventilation methods.
