BS ISO 16000-8:2007vi Introduction An adequate air change is of fundamental importance for indoor air quality. Proper ventilation of all buildings is ne

25、cessary for the health and comfort of the occupants as well as to protect against damage (e.g. due to excessive atmospheric humidity). However, the present-day use of tightly sealed windows, for example in residential and office buildings, can lead to insufficient ventilation. This situation in turn

26、 may lead to an increase in the concentration of substances emitted indoors. Manual ventilation by the occupants or the use of mechanical ventilation systems is thus required. However, excessive ventilation can lead to discomfort and increased energy consumption. Building regulations make provision

27、for ventilation to control moisture and other pollutants. Measurements of the ventilation conditions allow confirmation of whether these requirements are met in practice. Knowledge of the ventilation conditions is important in order to be able to analyse the possible causes of poor indoor air qualit

28、y. Thus, ideally, sampling and analysis of contaminants indoors should be accompanied by ventilation measurement, making it possible to estimate the strengths of contaminant sources. This part of ISO 16000 describes the use of single tracer gas for determining the age of air in a building which is n

29、aturally or mechanically ventilated. The age of air is an important factor in assessing the adequacy of ventilation. The concept local mean age of air (and its inverse the local effective air change rate) is used for assessing the ventilation conditions in the building. The mean age of air in a buil

30、ding zone indicates the average time the air in a zone has spent in the building accumulating contaminants. It is closely connected to the time it takes to exchange the air within a zone. The concentration of a contaminant released from continuous indoor sources increases with the length of time the

31、 air has spent indoors. The lower the age of air in a space, the lower the concentration. Normally, the ventilation air is supplied at selected parts of the building envelope, and seeks its way to the different building spaces. Thus, before the ventilation air reaches a specific room, a significant

32、portion of the air may have spent time in other rooms, accumulating contaminants. Therefore, the local mean age of air, which describes how long the air in a particular space has spent indoors, needs to be considered in relation to air quality. The purpose of this part of ISO 16000 is to describe th

33、e use of ventilation measurement techniques suitable for air quality studies. For this purpose, the ventilation rate and the air distribution patterns in the building should be measured for representative conditions of interest. ISO 12569 describes the use of tracer gas dilution for determining the

34、air change rate in a single zone. The procedures for tracer gas dilution include concentration decay, constant injection and constant concentration. ISO 12569 should be used when studying the thermal performance of buildings. In the case where a zone exchanges air only with the outside (i.e. has no

35、inflow of air from other parts of the building), the tracer gas concentration within the zone can be characterized with a single value, and the ventilation conditions are constant over the measurement period; this part of ISO 16000 and ISO 12569 should, in theory, provide identical results. The meth

36、ods described in this part of ISO 16000 can, however, be used beyond these conditions, for example in spaces with several zones, which may exchange air with each other, and in cases where the ventilation conditions vary during the measurement period. BS ISO 16000-8:20071Indoor air Part 8: Determinat

37、ion of local mean ages of air in buildings for characterizing ventilation conditions 1 Scope This part of ISO 16000 describes the use of single tracer gas for determining the local mean age of air as an indicator of ventilation conditions in a building. The procedures include concentration decay and

38、 homogeneous constant emission. The described methods are intended for air quality studies and can be used for a) checking whether the building ventilation requirements are met, b) estimating the adequacy of ventilation in buildings with indoor air quality problems, and c) characterizing the strengt

39、h and distribution of indoor emission sources. In principle, the methods can be applied to all indoor spaces, regardless of the type of ventilation used and the state of mixing of air between zones. The prevailing ventilation conditions need not be disturbed by the measurement. This part of ISO 1600

40、0 does not address the details of the analytical methods for tracer gases. The availability of such analysis services should be checked before planning actual field measurements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

43、l parts of ventilated system BS ISO 16000-8:20072 3.2 local mean age of air ventilation parameter, which describes the length of time the air at a specific location has on average spent within the building NOTE See A.1 for a further explanation of this term. 3.3 ventilated system the building space,

44、 which can exchange air directly or indirectly with the space of interest NOTE At the border of the ventilated system, there is no other inflow of air than outdoor air. 3.4 zone space within the building where air mixing is sufficient to create an essentially uniform concentration of a tracer gas re

45、leased anywhere within that space NOTE 1 To be considered a zone, the space should not exhibit concentration differences larger than 20 % of the mean. NOTE 2 A zone can be part of a room, an entire room or even include several rooms. 3.5 zone mean age of air ventilation parameter, which describes th

46、e length of time the air in a zone has on average spent within the building NOTE In the case of complete mixing within a zone, this is equal to the local mean age of air at any point within the zone. 4 Principles of tracer gas measurements for determining of ventilation conditions 4.1 General princi

47、ples Tracer gas techniques for measuring ventilation rely on the possibility of differentiating between air that is already within a space of interest and new air coming into that space. This means that it shall be able either to mark the air already in the space and follow how the marked air is rep

48、laced by new ventilation air or, alternatively, to mark the incoming air and measure how this marked ventilation air is distributed through the space. It should be observed that air flowing into a specified zone from other zones that have a lower or higher concentration of tracer gas would influence

49、 the result of the measurement. Therefore, it is important to keep to the prescribed boundary conditions that are different for different tracer gas methods. If the ventilation condition is to be determined in a zone, which has no inflow of air from other parts of the building (single isolated zone), it is not necessary to inject tracer gas or mark the air in other parts of the building in order to obtain correct results. However, if the zone can exchange air with other part
