Impact of material emissions and sorption of volatile organic compounds on indoor air quality in a low energy building: Field measurements and modeling

Editorial summary
In a low-energy classroom, the researchers measured VOC emissions and sorption for ten interior surfaces with FLEC units connected to online and offline analytical methods. The measurements identified 21 emitted compounds and supplied parameters for an indoor-air model; modeled profiles agreed with several measured VOCs, while surface sorption had limited influence during the field campaigns. FLEC served as the measurement tool rather than the subject of method development.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The author abstract explicitly states that emission rates and sorption coefficients for ten classroom surfaces were measured using field and laboratory emission cells coupled to analytical instruments. The paper applies FLEC to the building surfaces and indoor-air model rather than presenting FLEC itself as the primary method contribution.
