Describes investigations in California with a mobile laboratory designed specifically for studies of indoor air quality and energy use in buildings before and after energy conservation retrofits and in new buildings incorporating energy-efficient designs. Among parameters measured are infiltration rate, content of CO, CO2, NO, NO2 SO2, O3, formaldehyde, radon, etc. Results of initial phase of program indicate that concentrations of some air pollutants in the built environment are higher than outdoor levels and in some cases exceed recommended health and comfort criteria.
