One of the common approaches for assessing indoor pollutant level is the continuous sampling. Alternative sampling schemes taking shorter measurements were proposed. For that study a year round indoor CO2 concentration at 17 locations in a typical office in Hong Kong was used to evaluate the probable errors using four sampling schemes :
A - a continuous sampling throughout the measurement
B - 2 sampling periods of 2 equal sessions of the measurement
C - 2 structural sampling periods of the 2 sessions of the measurement
D - 4 sampling periods in four equal sessions of the measurement
The results found that scheme C offer a reduction of measurement effort up to 30 %.
