Questions and Answers

A: A: Half an air change per hour means the room air is diluted but not isolated. With no filtration and no sources, steady-state lands near outdoor times the ventilation effectiveness, roughly 0.5 here. B: That assumes infinite air change or perfect mixing without rate limits. C: Volume doesn’t reduce concentration once steady-state is reached; that’s a common rookie slip. D: Infiltration doesn’t amplify concentration without an internal source term.

A: A: Total generation is 0.05 L/s; total outdoor air is 100 L/s, so ΔC ≈ 0.0005 by volume, or ~500 ppm added to outdoor. B: That drops a zero in the mass balance. C: That’s what you’d get using 5 L/s per person instead of 10. D: That treats CO2 generation as if it were pure exhaust with no dilution.

A: A: Carbon adsorbs VOCs directly and fits under the ΔP limit. B: Higher MERV helps PM, not gas-phase VOCs. C: UV-C hits bioaerosols; VOCs pass straight through. D: That can dilute VOCs but usually violates energy and humidity limits without a system rework.

A: A: Net exhaust over supply is the only thing that enforces pressure direction. B: Door swing is architectural, not pressure control. C: Diffuser location affects mixing, not room pressurisation. D: Material notes don’t set airflow balance.
