Summary

The occupants of six houses suffered from symptoms which improved upon leaving their houses. In a previous study, tests were conducted in these six houses. Four of them were subsequently renovated to improve indoor air quality. Tests were repeated on the four houses and included: measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, ventilation rates, air distribution patterns, levels of carbon dioxide, concentrations of formaldehyde, and concentrations of volatile organic compounds. This paper describes the remedial measures applied to these houses.
