doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0668.1999.00003.x · Finding checked against the abstract
Source details checked refers to publication information or an official source page. See the record’s limitations for incomplete extraction and the method for how to read the labels.
What the source reports
Across studies of about 30,000 office occupants, ventilation below 10 L/s per person went with worse health or perceived air quality in almost every study, with further gains up to about 20 L/s per person.
Design questions and applications
Set ventilation above the minimum, across building types.
Field
Air and ventilation
