Seminar 59 -- The Effect of the Outdoor Environment on Indoor Environment Modeling

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

While it is common practice to represent the effects of the outside world simplistically when performing an indoor environment analysis, this approach may not always yield realistic predictions. This seminar considers the coupled nature of the indoor and outdoor environments with examples including indoor CO exposure rates from outside generators. Concepts discussed here are directly applicable to the design of high-performance, energy-efficient buildings which utilize natural ventilation.
