Summary

STATES THAT SOME GUIDELINES IN INDOOR AIR QUALITY SPECIFY A MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE EXPOSURE TO CO2. IN A ROOM WITH MECHANICAL EXTRACT VENTILATION, A CONTROL PROGRAMME ON THE CO2 CONCENTRATION MAY, BY AN APPROPRIATE SAMPLING STRATEGY, SUPPLY INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXHAUSTED FL BRIEFLY OUTLINES A SIMPLE ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR ESTIMATING THE EXHAUSTED FLOWRATE BY MEASURING THE CO2 CONCENTRATION AND KEEPING A RECORD OF THE OCCUPANCY OF THE ROOM. APPLIES THE CO2 DATA FROM A FIELD STUDY IN A KINDERGARTEN TO THE MODEL AND COMPARES THE ESTIMATED FLOWRATE TO THAT OBTAINED BY A WELL-ESTABLISHED TRACER GAS TECHNIQUE. NOTES DISCREPANCIES IN THE RESULTS AND EXPLAINS THEM.
