Indoor air quality analyses of commercial reference buildings

► Development of CONTAM models of DOE reference buildings for IAQ analyses. ► Four indoor and outdoor contaminants simulated: CO2, ozone, PM 2.5, and VOC. ► Annual contaminant simulations using CONTAM for six reference buildings in Chicago. ► PM 2.5 and VOC concentrations within relevant indoor guidelines for most of year. ► Models can be used to compare approaches for reducing energy and improving IAQ.
