Presented here is a new philosophy of ventilation, which takes into account pollution sources other than human contaminants and tobacco smoke, e.g. construction materials, furniture, and utilities. Use is made of the new quantities for measuring perceived air quality, the olf and the decipol. These entities make possible a new comfort equation for room air quality whereby the air exchange volume necessary for a given quality level (expressed in decipol) in a room with known pollution sources (expressed in olf) can be determined.
