Report BR 477 Ventilation, airtightness and indoor air quality in new homes
Publication Year

Abstract
Investigation of ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) in homes in England built since 1995. The main part of the project involved a winter (January–March 2002) and summer (July–September2002) period of monitoring of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, particulates, temperature and humidity in a sample of 37 homes. The results from the measurements were statistically analysed, based on data from questionnaires, including house characteristics and occupant activity diaries. The statistical analysis includes two stages: simple descriptive statistics of the indoor air quality parameters and ventilation rates measured under different conditions, and bivariate analysis to identify associations between these and possible determinants.
