This report presents the findings of a field investigation and assessment into air tightness, air movement and indoor air quality conducted on two ( 2) residential high-rise apartment buildings located in St. John's, Newfoundland.
We consider the local aspects of vehicular pollution by wind tunnel testing used in conjunction with a tracer-gas technique. These initial results show that the level of pollution received by a commuter in slow-moving heavy traffic may be as much a function of the pollution produced from the car in front as other environmental aspects.
The purpose of this book is to make builders aware of the opportunities and problems that indoor air quality presents and to provide them with practical advice on:
how to build for good indoor air quality;
how to operate a house for high indoor air quality; and
how to solve indoor air quality problems if they occur.
