Pollutants emission scenarios for residential ventilation performance assessment. A review

Given that performance-based approaches secure maximum energy consumption for new buildings in more and building codes standards, such could ensure ventilation is designed to avoid risks occupants’ health. We have developed a approach assessing indoor air quality (IAQ) performance low-energy houses at the design stage of building, line with regulatory calculations. In this context, whole-building IAQ modelling process raises two key issues: What are relevant indicators be calculated? corresponding emission scenarios occupancy schedules used as entry data calculate selected? This paper focuses on second issue through literature review: firstly oriented toward considerations so define rates CO2, moisture, formaldehyde PM2.5 use input assessment. Based review, we propose daily occupants their associated moisture CO2 emissions. completed them rate values main pollutant sources from activities regarding emissions laundry, showering cooking; cooking materials furniture. Finally, these built three classified formaldehyde: high, medium low.
