Abstract

The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of different control methods on indoor air quality and energy consumption in newly-built residential units. The control methods including ventilation and heating that can be applied before occupancy were chosen for this study. We carried out a field experiment to measure the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and a simulation study to estimate the energy consumption during and after the application of the control methods in test units. It is found that simultaneous application of both heating and ventilation methods reduced the indoor VOC concentrations, while energy consumption was expected to increase. Installing heat recovery ventilators (HRV) was suggested to be one of the methods to improve indoor air quality and to reduce energy consumption during and after the application of the control method. Finally, we presented the correlation functions between the ratio of toluene concentration reduced and daily/monthly energy consumption after occupancy for residential units with and without HRV.
