ShareModeling the influence of building and heating, ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC) system parameters on radon levels in a large building.
Author(s) : GU L., SWAMI M. V., ANELLO M. T.
Summary
HVAC operation can play a crucial role in controlling indoor radon concentrations. Both the introduction of fresh air and the pressurization of an indoor space have been considered as means of reducing indoor radon concentration levels. Using an in-house computer model, this paper examines the impact of configurational and operational parameters of a building and HVAC system on indoor radon concentrations in a large building.
