Seminar 78 -- Supplementing Ventilation with Gas-phase Air Cleaning (IEA-EBC Annex 78)

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

IEA-EBC Annex 78 bring researchers and industry together to investigate the possible energy benefits and increased indoor air quality by using gas phase air cleaners to partial substitute for ventilation (outdoor air). None of existing standards for testing gaseous air cleaners include human bio effluents as a source and the perceived indoor air quality is not used to evaluate the performance. Bio effluents from occupants are an important source of pollution and most criteria for ventilation is based on perceived air quality. There is therefore a need to establish new and more relevant test methods for gaseous air cleaners.
