Worldwide, there is an increasing number of publications related to air cleaning and there is also an increasing sale of gas phase air cleaning products. This puts a demand for verifying the influence of using air cleaning on indoor air quality, comfort, well-being and health. It is thus important to learn whether air cleaning can supplement ventilation with respect to improving air quality i.e. whether it can partly substitute the ventilation rates required by standards.

An ideal ventilation system should be robust and capable of providing thermal comfort and good indoor air quality (IAQ) that safeguards occupant health while also minimising space conditioning costs and reducing auxiliary energy use for fans.

The current trend in most Western countries regarding building ventilation is to follow the “build tight, ventilate right” strategy. New energy efficient buildings are indeed getting more and more airtight to avoid energy losses through uncontrolled air leakages. Instead of relying on natural infiltration, ventilation systems are installed to ensure a good indoor air quality (IAQ) with controlled ventilative air flowrates.
