Summary

Ventilation rates affect indoor environmental conditions including air pollutant concentrations that may modify the occupants' health or perceptions. This article summarizes current literature on the relationship of ventilation rates and carbon dioxide concentrations in non-residential and non-industrial buildings (primarily offices) with the health of the building's occupants and with the occupants' perceptions of indoor air quality. The review aims to provide a better scientific basis for setting health-related ventilation standards.
