Indoor & Outdoor Environmental Quality

Commercial Building: Ventilation Systems, Health, Productivity, and Indoor Environmental Quality

Scientists conduct research on energy-efficient ventilation, pollutant transport, particle control, and health and productivity in commercial buildings. Methods include controlled laboratory studies, extensive multi-disciplinary field studies, modeling, and reviews and syntheses of data

Residential Buildings: Thermal Distribution, Ventilation, and Energy Use

This research focuses on whole-building integration problems involving modeling, measurement, design, and operation. Most tasks have focused on the movement of air and associated penalties involving distribution of pollutants, energy and fresh air. The major research areas fall into three categories: residential research, non-residential research, and standards research and development.
