That study gives a snapshot of ventilation and IAQ in a small sample of a range of types of new homes built in England since 1995 . Simultaneous measurements of ventilation and IAQ are combined together with records of occupant behaviour and household characteristics.
The study was carried out in three stages :
Validation of a tracer gas method (PFT) for air exchange rate measurement
Study of indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation in homes
Detailed study in 5 homes, with a focus on short term peak concentrations of pollutants
The results are presented
