VENTILATION MEASUREMENTS COMBINED WITH POLLUTANT CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN HIGH EMISSION RATES AND INSUFFICIENT VENTILATION

High local concentrations of a pollutant can be the result of high local emission rates of the pollutant orinsufficient ventilation. Using tracer gases to map the ventilation in multi-zone buildings combined withmeasurements of the local pollutant concentration provide the means to discriminate between thesecauses.
