Description:
The User's Guide describes a Microsoft Windows-based indoor air quality (IAQ) simulation software package designed Simulation Tool Kit for Indoor Air Quality and Inhalation Exposure, or IAQX for short. This software complements and supplements existing IAQ simulation programs and is designed mainly for advanced users. The package consists of a general-purpose simulation program and four stand-alone, special-purpose simulation programs. The general-purpose program performs multizone, multipollutant simulations and allows gas-phase chemical reactions. The special-purpose programs implement fundamentally based models, which are often excluded in existing IAQ simulation programs. In addition to performing conventional IAQ simulations, which compute the time-concentration profile and inhalation exposure, IAQX can estimate the adequate ventilation rate when certain air quality criteria are provided by the user, a unique feature useful for product stewardship and risk management. IAQX will be developed in a cumulative manner, and more special-purpose simulation programs will be added to the package in the future.
