The study investigates the relationship between ventilation rates and work performance on two specific tasks (talk and wrap-up) in a call-center. CO2 concentrations ranged from 13 to 611 ppm and the study used a multi-variable regression to modelize the association between the predictors and the responses. Influence of ventilation rates and temperature on task performance are commented.
