Indoor Air Quality Study in Agency Building Two, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NewYork

摘要

This report describes the results of an indoor air quality study in AgencyBuilding Two at the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. The objectives were to perform direct monitoring of indoor air pollutants and to conduct a survey of environmental perceptions by building occupants in the 20-story office buildings. The monitoring included measurements of thermal comfort (temperature and relative humidity) and common indoor pollutants (carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, respirable particles, and microorganisms). Tests were conducted for two weeks during peak summer and winter seasons. Indoor conditions were evaluated under minimum outdoor air ventilation rates of 20 cfm and 35 cfm.
