Indiana: A new study has found that air emitted from office buildings in urban areas It is polluting the atmosphere.
Research led by Brandon Burr at Purdue University found that modern buildings emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on a regular basis and may be a major source of VOCs in the urban atmosphere. .
The researchers measured the exchange of indoor and outdoor pollutants in a high-performance office building using high-quality instruments and an advanced building automation platform.
“We always think about filtering the air that enters buildings,” said Brendan Bohr. According to the latest research findings, we now need to start thinking about cleaning the air emitted from offices, homes and schools to reduce VOC emissions in the environment.
Brandon Burr said the goal of the research was to accurately measure VOCs in the air entering and leaving urban buildings and use the data to understand how human presence and building functionality affect the interior and exterior of buildings. affect the movement of VOCs through the air.
He said that the impact of air exchange between indoor and outdoor environment on urban pollution is not well understood.
