We assume that the outdoor CO2 concentration is 400 ppm and initial indoor air particle concentration is 0 μg/m3. All outdoor air flow rates in column (I), (II) and (III) are applied for each case separately.

a

The period of time-dependent particle source is 12 h. Only the values within 12 h are listed in this table. The simulation time is 12 h.

b

The values of outdoor fresh air flow rate per person.
