The influence of nocturnal ventilation reduction on indoor air quality.

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

Summary

This paper argues that the energy saving practice of stopping ventilation systems at night may reduce the daytime air quality. Sorption phenomena, where pollutants absorbed at night are re-emitted during the day, and the generally slower removal of pollutants at the reduced average ventilation rates, will contribute to the deterioration of air quality obtained using intermittent running systems.
