Model prediction of indoor particle concentrations in a public school classroom
Indoor particle concentration and its relationship with outdoor particle level were investigated using a macroscopic indoor air quality model for a classroom ventilated naturally. The model was validated with measurement data obtained from an optical particle analyzer's measurements. Reasonably...

Indoor particle concentration and its relationship with outdoor particle level were investigated using a macroscopic indoor air quality model for a classroom ventilated naturally. The model was validated with measurement data obtained from an optical particle analyzer's measurements. Reasonably good agreement between the predicted results and measurements was demonstrated.
