Tracer gas measurements have Jong been used to quantify the performance of ventilation systems by exploring such scales as the air exchange efficiency, the local mean age of the air, the residence time distribution and so on. The present work deals with a numerical reexamination and calibration of some relations previously derived from tracer gas analysis.
The performance of a ventilation system, particularly that which is incorporated in centralised air-conditioning system, can be evaluated in several ways. The "ventilation efficiency and ventilation effectiveness" and "air exchange efficiency" are two of the most commonly employed methods in ventilation analysis.
