Determining Whole-Building Ventilation Rates for Residential BuildingsWhole-building ventilation replaces an amount of stale, indoor air with ventilation from the outdoors. It isintended to dilute indoor pollutants and provide acceptable air quality. ASHRAE Standard 62.2, Ventilation andAcceptable Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, defines the roles and minimum requirements formechanical systems, natural ventilation systems, and building envelopes intended to provide acceptableindoor air quality (IAQ) in residential buildings. We will use the following formula from ASHRAE Standard 62.2to calculate the total required ventilation rate:Q = 0.15A floor + 3.5 (Nhr + 1)Where:Q is the total required ventilation rate (L/s)A floor is the dwelling-unit floor area (m2)Nbris the number of bedrooms (not to be less than 1)Once we know the ventilation rate in a space of a given volume, we can also calculate the steady-state CO2concentration using the following formula:GNKCinCout +QWhere:Cin is the indoor steady state concentration of CO2, expressed as parts per million, or ppm(dimensionless)Cout is the outdoor concentration of CO2 that is in the fresh air from outdoors, expressed as parts permillion, or ppm (dimensionless)G is the generation rate of CO2 per occupant (L/s of CO2/ person)N is the number of occupants (people)O is the total ventilation rate (L/s)K is a constant to introduce units of ppm (K is equal to 1,000,000) Q6: Consider a 3 bedroom apartment with 3roommates. The apartment has a volume of11,742 m^3 with 3 meter ceilings. If theapartment was ventilated according to therequirements of ASHRAE 62.2, what wouldthe CO2 concentration be inside the housewhen all the roommates are home? Assumethe outdoor concentration is 400ppm, theCO2 generation rate is .005 L/sCO2/person,and 100% outdoor air is used with norecirculation.

Q6: Consider a 3 bedroom apartment with 3 roommates. The apartment has a volume of 11,742 m^3 with 3 meter ceilings. If the apartment was ventilated according to the requirements of ASHRAE 62.2, what would the CO2 concentration be inside the house when all the roommates are home? Assume the outdoor concentration is 400ppm, the CO2 generation rate is .005 L/SCO2/person, and 100% outdoor air is used with no recirculation.

An igloo or Eskimo hut is built in the form of a hemispherical shell with an inside diameter of 12 ft. If the igloo is constructed of snow block having a uniform thickness of 2 ft and weighing 40 lb/ft3, find the weight of the igloo, neglecting the entrance. Also, if fresh air contains 0.04% carbon dioxide, find the amount of this gas in the igloo when freshly ventilated.

A two story home with an infiltration rate of 0.6 ach has 300 m² of total floor space and 2.4 meter high ceilings. A wood stove runs continuously in the winter and emits CO at the rate of 200 mg/hr into the house. On Christmas Eve, a gas oven operates from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and two gas burners operate from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Assuming the CO concentration in the air outside the home is 2 ppm, what is the CO concentration in the house at 8 p.m. on Christmas eve? (Assume the temperature in the home is 25°C).
