Join Andrew Persily, Ph.D., Fellow/Life Member ASHRAE, and Meghan McNulty, P.E., Member ASHRAE, as they discuss disconnects between design intent and performance when ventilating buildings and how ventilation theory and research play out in real-world applications.NIST Indoor Carbon Dioxide Metric Analysis Tool: https://pages.nist.gov/CONTAM-apps/webapps/CO2Tool/#/Persily and McNulty have provided additional reading resources on ventilation:Persily, A.
