Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Latex Paint – Part 2. Test House Studies and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Modeling

Sparks, L. E. / Guo, Z. / Chang, J. C. / Tichenor, B. A.

Abstract Emission models developed using small chamber data were combined with an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) model to analyze the impact of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from latex paint on indoor environments. Test house experiments were conducted to verify the IAQ model's predictions. The agreement between model predictions and experimental measurements met the American Society for Testing and Materials criteria for model verification in the room with the source and met most of the requirements in other rooms. The major cause of disagreement between the model predictions and the experimental data in the test house appears to be an inadequate sink model.
