Abstract

The study of the concentration of indoor air pollution has become central to devising ventilation strategies that can improve the indoor air quality. Since the strategies used for ventilation and air filtration have an impact on thermal comfort and the energy used, the simulation of air pollutants has been integrated into energy modelling tools such as EnergyPlus. However, EnergyPlus runs simulations that can output only one air contaminant beside carbon dioxide. This paper presents a novel approach to enable EnergyPlus to output the concentrations of multiple air contaminants using equations scripted into EnergyPlus via the Energy Management System.
