Title

Modeling the influence of building and HVAC system parameters on radon levels in a large building

Abstract

An in-house computer model was used to examine the impact of configurational and operational parameters of a building and of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system on indoor radon concentrations in a large building. The model was calibrated using airflow, pressure differential and leakage data obtained from tests and diagnostics of the building, along with additional experiments involving controlled pressurization and depressurization tests of the building. A parametric analysis using the calibrated model indicated the building ventilation rate and the outdoor air to exhaust air ratio to be significant parameters that affect indoor radon concentration.
