Ventilation: Indoor Air Quality

This lecture covers the importance of ventilation in maintaining indoor air quality, discussing topics such as air exchange rates, prescriptive procedures for ventilation rates, minimum ventilation rates as per standards, analytical methods for calculating ventilation rates, and the impact of ventilation on indoor air pollution levels. The instructor explains how to determine the required ventilation rates based on pollutant concentrations and human bioeffluents. The lecture also addresses the challenges in achieving optimal ventilation rates in buildings, the effectiveness of ventilation systems, and the key factors in solving indoor air quality problems.
