The report presents a framework for the development of a model for predicting the indoor air pollutant concentrations in a variety of building types under practical conditions of weather, building occupancy, building construction, and pollutant source strength. The general concepts needed for developing an indoor air-quality model are treated. Examples of the current state of indoor air-quality models are given. The pollutants discussed are formaldehyde, radon, nitrogen oxides, tobacco smoke, particulates, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
