The ventilation rate (VR) is a key parameter affecting indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and
the energy consumption of buildings. This paper reviews the use of CO2 as a “natural” tracer …

The present paper illustrates the results of a literature review on occupants' behaviours,
assessing the actions' drivers. There is no general agreement about the reasons people …

Natural ventilation (NV) that reduces building energy consumption and improves indoor
