The methods of experimental measurements and theoretical calculation are used to research the relationship of indoor CO2 concentration and building air tightness in natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation, respectively. Three experimental conditions of windows closed and opened are designed. The blower door test method is used to test natural ventilation, and the indoor CO2 concentration is tested. The general ventilation theoretical calculation formula is used to calculate the indoor CO2 concentration of mechanical ventilation conditions. The results show that the indoor CO2 concentration difference of windows opened and closed is about 20% in natural ventilation, and it is 10% in mechanical ventilation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
