Part 5: Building Pressurization for Acceptable IAQ

Building pressurization is paramount to acceptable IAQ. Negative building pressure transports moisture, hot and cold outdoor air, and unfiltered outdoor air across […]

Part 4: How to Improve Demand Control Ventilation

Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) is desirable in high population density and variable occupancy spaces. This video discusses single zone DCV, when DCV […]

Part 3: Recognizing the Pitfalls of CO2 Ventilation Control

In this video we will covers CO2 ventilation control and how it is becoming increasingly popular as an energy-saving method while exposing […]

Part 1 Dilution Ventilation and IAQ

In this video, David Dougan discusses the steps to achieve acceptable IAQ requires understanding the contaminants of concern and methods to maintain […]

The Importance of Controlled Ventilation in Schools

Proper outdoor air ventilation in schools is crucial for occupant health and well-being. Ventilation rates can vary due to factors like the […]

Ventilation Control for COVID-19 & Beyond

Providing a healthy indoor environment requires an understanding of outdoor air ventilation. The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), brought about by […]

Improve Traditional CO2-DVC with Outdoor Airflow Measurement

This paper clarifies industry misconceptions regarding DVC and exposes the significant uncertainties associated with CO2-DVC. Additionally, the paper proposes two improved methods […]

The Importance of Airflow Measurement

This article explains the importance of ventilation and outdoor air within a building. Under-ventilation of outdoor air also affects building pressure, increasing […]

Indoor Environmental Quality: Designing Healthier Interiors

Review of the main causes for poor indoor environmental quality (flaws in HVAC systems, cleaning chemicals and material off-gassing), the ever-changing science […]
