Buildings play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis, yet the sector remains off track in achieving a net-zero carbon building stock by 2050. Currently, buildings account for over a third of the EU’s energy-related carbon footprint—a figure that grows even larger when considering the emissions generated across the entire life cycle of construction […]

Indoor carbon dioxide concentrations have been measured and discussed in the context of building ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) for more than 100 years. In recent decades they have been proposed as an easy way to evaluate the adequacy of ventilation, even to estimate ventilation rates, as well as an indicator of IAQ. Many of these proposals and applications of CO2 have been technically incomplete if not wrong. The application of indoor CO2 concentrations, as well as their misinterpretation, has increased in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
