Transport process of outdoor particulate matter into naturally ventilated buildings

Chia-Ren Chu et al.

Summary: This study found that natural ventilation in buildings can effectively remove indoor particulate contaminants, while also potentially introducing outdoor pollutants that affect indoor air quality. Deposition rates are higher in long buildings compared to short buildings, due to sluggish airflow inside the long buildings.

Using Co-simulation between EnergyPlus and CONTAM to evaluate recirculation-based, demand-controlled ventilation strategies in an office building

M. Justo Alonso et al.

Summary: This study developed a coupled simulation model for building energy, airflow, and contaminant transport, and evaluated different strategies for controlling supply air delivery and return air recirculation rates in an office building. The results showed that demand-controlled ventilation strategies and the use of return air recirculation can reduce energy use and improve indoor air quality.

Effect of particulate iron on tracking indoor PM2.5 of outdoor origin: A case study in Nanjing, China

Zhitong Wang et al.

Summary: This study examines the effect of particulate iron on tracking indoor PM2.5 of outdoor origin at temporal and spatial scales. The results show that iron tracks PM2.5 well on average during outdoor-to-indoor transport, with variations in tracking performance over time and geographic regions. Sulphate appears to have a less stable tracking effect compared to iron.

The Influence of Outdoor Particulate Matter PM2.5 on Indoor Air Quality: The Implementation of a New Assessment Method

Dominik Bekierski et al.

Summary: Epidemiological research has shown a positive correlation between disease incidence and mortality in humans and the mass concentration of particulate matter. The study describes the state of knowledge on dust pollution inside and outside buildings, testing methods for PM infiltration parameters. A new method for estimating the penetration factor P was tested based on the physical basis of aerosol penetration theory. Preliminary results showed that the penetration factor P = 0.61 is consistent with values from existing literature for this group of dusts.

Assessing the Energy, Indoor Air Quality, and Moisture Performance for a Three-Story Building Using an Integrated Model, Part Two: Integrating the Indoor Air Quality, Moisture, and Thermal Comfort

Seyedmohammadreza Heibati et al.

Summary: An integrated model combining CONTAM and WUFI was developed to evaluate indoor air quality, moisture, and thermal comfort. By comparing the predictions of the integrated model with single models, optimal scenarios were selected based on different conditions, showing significant differences in results.
