Buildings and their indoor surfaces as passive filters Glenn Morrison Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Missouri University of Science & Technology
Pollutant sources and sinks • Outdoor sources – ventilation and infiltration – smog, pollen, diesel soot, air toxics • Indoor sources – Combustion, off-gassing, cleaning, solvent use, industrial operations – People: infectious disease • Sinks – Filtration – Air chemistry – Deposition and removal at surfaces
Clean indoor air: indoor surfaces
Buildings are “reactors”
Buildings are “reactors”
Models: good approximations Mathematical model estimate Ozone emitted from ion “air cleaners”
Major elements of IAQ models • Sources • Sinks filtration ventilation Air ry t mis Che emissions ventilation deposition
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of sinks • Filtration – Portables: ~300 cfm – Whole house: (periodic) ~1000 cfm • Ventilation and infiltration Air cleaner efficiency, h – Homes: 50 -500 cfm • Surface deposition Flowrate, Q – Homes: 0 - 5000 cfm !! – Continuous! CADR=h. Q
Surfaces as sinks GASES SMALL PARTICLES bounce stick or react Sticks until re-suspended or cleaned
concentration Driving forces: gradients Net flux
Deposition velocity, vd deposition velocity vd • CADR = vd x surface area filter wall • Not a real “velocity” but identical math air velocity u • CADR = u x filter area (100% efficiency)
Deposition velocity CADR • CADR = vd x surface area • Residence surface area ~5 ft 2/sq ft • Maximum CADR – Max vd 0. 1 -0. 5 ft/min (2 -10 m/h) – 2000 sq ft home – CADR due to surfaces = 1000 -5000 cfm
Surface CADR dependences • Air: mixing, velocities • Surfaces – Composition and “fleeciness” – Coatings and chemistry • Gaseous pollutants – Chemistry: reactions at surface – “Stickiness” (pesticides very sticky) • Particles – Size and charge • Other: temperature, humidity

Gases vd and CADR
Controls: passive systems • CADR depends on q. Air mixing q. Surface characteristics q. Pollutant characteristics q. Temperature, humidity • Identify surface-pollutant pairs • Identify effective air mixing-surface combinations
Possible applications
Target pollutant: ozone • Smog: ozone, acids, aerosols, … • Ozone increases mortality, respiratory illness • Ozone reacts with some indoor surfaces – generates formaldehyde & strong irritants • Opportunity to reduce population smog exposure through passive controls
Your home and ozone Undesirable reaction byproducts

Drywall and activated carbon • Collaboration: Missouri S&T, U Texas, Austin • Place materials in room-sized chamber and evaluate vd estimate CADR
CADR of AC and wallboard activated carbon unpainted gypsum board CADR ~ 2000 cfm CADR ~ 1200 cfm
Fun with A. C. AC on fan blades: CADR ~ 100 cfm Average 33% decrease in indoor ozone Negligible by-product formation + reduction in products from other reactions UT master’s student Donna putting AC sleeves on fan blades
Green building materials • Collaboration: Missouri S&T and UT Austin (US Green Building Council) • Criteria for materials – Green by some measure – Covers lots of area • Goals – Test methods for ozone removal capability – Also test for undesirable byproducts

Personal exposure in a home
Building surfaces are opportunities! • First find out what works (don’t reinvent the wheel) • Then consider design • Easy: ozone, acids, photochemical smog • Difficult: particles, VOCs, formaldehyde
