CALCULATION METHODS TO ASSESS INDOOR AIR QUALITY.

Author(s) : WOODS J. E., CRAWFORD R. R.

Summary

INDOOR AIR QUALITY IS DETERMINED BY THE SOURCES OF THE CONTAMINANTS AND BY THE METHODS USED TO CONTROL THEIR CONCENTRATIONS. TO PREDICT OR MATHEMATICALLY ASSESS THE QUALITY OF AIR, THE RATES OF GENERATION, TRANSFER, AND REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS ARE CHARACTERIZED. METHODS USED TO PREDICT CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS BASED ON SINGLE-ZONE STEADY-STATE MODELS OF OCCUPIED SPACES, ARE BRIEFLY REVIEWED AND THEIR LIMITATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE WITH IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS OF THESE MODELS, INCLUDING BETTER CHARACTERIZATION OF THE DEVICES USED.
