Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) is seen more and more as a promising way to limit the energy consumption due to ventilation in buildings. However DCV is always a compromise between decreasing the ventilation flow rates and assuring the indoor air quality (IAQ). Ventilation requirements are usually expressed as required air flow rates in the ventilation standards and regulations. Up to now, no consensus for an absolute criterion of IAQ exists in the international scientific community.
