Impact of ozone on perceived air quality in offices
The project aims to examine to what extent ozone in the air affects the air quality in offices by interacting with surface materials. The perceived air quality in offices with and without ozone is assessed by a sensory panel. Moreover the volatile organic compounds in the air are quantified. This new knowledge will prove useful for selecting a ventilation strategy or materials that ensure good air quality indoors. The Danish Building Research Institute is in charge of planning, implementing and assessing sensory and chemical measurements.
