Monitoring Indoor Air Quality in a Six-Storey Passive Building in Fort St. John
Description Indoor air quality is an important design consideration and becomes particularly important for highly energy efficient buildings; but is heavily influenced by climate and occupant behaviour. This monitoring study aims to collect data on building envelope performance and indoor air quality from a highly energy efficient, six-storey wood-frame residential building located in climate zone 7A in northern British Columbia. The building design meets Passive House standard to minimize space heating needs in the winter. Impact This study provides information that will assist the building sector in developing durable, comfortable, and energy efficient buildings for cold climates.
