Ive heard about a CO2 test, but what is it for?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to aid in the control of indoor odors by dilution with outdoor air. CO2 is used to aid in the control of indoor odors by dilution with outdoor air. CO2 , a normal product of human respiration, is used as a surrogate ventilation indicator. Many studies have been done (originally in Europe) that demonstrated a relationship between noticeable odors indoors and dilution of indoor air with outdoor air (OA). The relationship is inversely proportional. The more OA is introduced, the less odors are noticed. Additionally, it was demonstrated in several studies, that by using conditioned, acceptable OA, other contaminants which may be present indoors may also be diluted.
