The impact of combinations of building materials and intermittent ventilation on perceived air quality.

Author(s) : HAGHIGHAT F., SAKR W., GUNNARSEN L., et al.

Summary

The paper reports the results of a series of experimental studies on the impact of operation of ventilation systems and the combinations of several building materials on perceived air quality. Experiments were performed in test chambers as well as in office buildings. Untrained panels of 29-50 subjects assessed the air quality in terms of acceptability and odour intensity. Experiments were performed using test chambers to determine air quality under intermittent and continuous ventilation conditions and to establish the exposure-response relationships for each of the tested building materials.
