Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation Systems for Wildfire Smoke Resilience in British Columbia
There is very little information on how building ventilation systems improve indoor air quality (IAQ) during wildfire seasons. This study establishes various mechanical ventilation models to evaluate indoor particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) exposure levels experienced by occupants at homes, offices, and lecture theatres. The study uses outdoor PM2.5 data from the province of British Columbia during wildfire season to optimize ventilation systems to have minimum indoor exposure even during peak outdoor PM2.5 levels. Different IAQ models showed that ventilation setups with recirculated air performed better than setups with only outside air (OA) and led to significantly lower indoor PM2.5 concentrations. Testing standard Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) filter types showed that MERV 11 and lower filters are ineffective in reducing indoor PM exposure levels.
