Equivalence in ventilation and indoor air quality
This study ventilates buildings to provide acceptable indoor air quality. Ventilation standards (such as ASHRAE Standard 62) specify minimum ventilation rates without taking into account the impact of those rates on indoor air quality. Innovative ventilation management is often a desirable element of reducing energy consumption or improving indoor air quality or comfort. Variable ventilation is one innovative strategy. To use variable ventilation in a way that meets standards, it is necessary to have a method for determining equivalence in terms of either ventilation or indoor air quality. This study develops methods to calculate either equivalent ventilation or equivalent indoor air quality, demonstrating that equivalent ventilation can be used as the basis for dynamic ventilation control, reducing peak load, and infiltration of outdoor contaminants. It is also shown that equivalent indoor air quality could allow some contaminants to exceed current standards if other contaminants are more stringently controlled.
