CO2as a proxy for ventilation rate and IAQ
1)Examine the figure below showing CO2levels in 3 zones of a modern office building, along with the external CO2. If all office zones are of a similar size, with similar occupant densities, which do you think has the lowest ventilation rate?Which room would you assume to have the worst air quality?
2)This second figure shows the NO2present both externally and internally. Can you explain what may be going on? Do you want to revise your answer to part 1? Does CO2explain air quality?
