Commercial IAQ &
Atmospheric Dynamics Playbook
Sick building syndrome is frequently the result of unbalanced ventilation ratios and stagnant airflow patterns. This playbook provides the engineering workflow to audit your building’s vital signs: CO2 saturation, particulate counts, and relative humidity drift.
Occupancy-Based CO2 Dilution Mapping
CO2 accumulation is the primary indicator of insufficient fresh-air exchange in commercial zones. Use this auditor to map occupancy density against your current outdoor air makeup rates.
Relative Humidity & Latent Load Balancing
Uncontrolled humidity leads directly to mold growth and biological film formation in ductwork. This tool balances your latent cooling capacity against internal moisture production.
Particulate Loading & Filtration Efficiency
Ensure that high-traffic public zones are filtering out microscopic particulates. Calculate the filter life and efficiency drop-off points to maintain peak air scrubbing performance.
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Outgassing
Modern office furniture and cleaning agents outgas invisible molecular contaminants. Audit the ambient VOC ppm concentrations to determine if your air exchange rate needs a forced override.
