The present study deals with indoor air quality and is mainly based on an experimental work. The experimental set up is a full scale test cell with a ventilation system which comprises a fixed air supply and a mobile extract. A source of pollutant continuously supplies tracer gas at the centre of the cell. We carried out 12 tests under steady state and with various conditions. The test parameters were the exhaust location, the fresh air now rate and the supply air temperature. The analysis of the air temperature, air velocity and tracer gas concentration isovalues clearly show the effect of each parameter on the ventilation efficiency.
