- Abstract
- The report presents a framework for the development of a model for predicting the indoor air pollutant concentrations in a variety of building types under practical conditions of weather, building occupancy, building construction and pollutant source strength. The general concepts needed for developing an indoor air quality model are treated. Examples of the current state of indoor air quality models are given. The pollutants discussed are formaldehyde, radon, nitrogen oxides, tobacco smoke, particulates, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
