CO2 Emissions in Indoor Air and Potential Solutions for Reduction
Pittcon 2022 | March 5 - 9, 2022 Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta, Georgia, USA CO2 Emissions in Indoor Air and Potential Solutions for Reduction Room: B316 Session Number: G09-07 Tuesday, March 08, 2022: 3:45 PM - 4:05 PM Author(s) Dr. Jack Driscoll and Jennifer L. Maclachlan Description In a recent NIH study, associations of higher indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations with impaired work performance, increased health symptoms, and poorer perceived air quality have been attributed to correlation of indoor CO2. At levels above 600 ppm CO2, testing was done at 1000 ppm CO2 and they found that moderate and statistically significant decrements occurred in six of nine scales of decision-making performance. To keep the level of CO2 below 600 ppm a new CO2 controller has been developed by PID Analyzers that would automatically work with the HVAC system to increase additional intake air to reduce the CO2. An additional CO2 analyzer would analyze the intake air to ensure that th
