[Correction added on 13 June 2017, after first online publication: steady-state CO2 concentration above outdoors unit has been changed from mg/m3 to ppm(v) in the column heading. And also, the values for office, conference room, adult bedroom have been altered from 643, 1577, 1958 to 568, 1557, 1988 respectively.]
