title = "Attached garage contaminant transport and intervention results",
abstract = "Contaminant transport from residential attached garages and the effectiveness of common intervention strategies was investigated at five houses in central Illinois. Concentrations of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and intentionally introduced tracer gas were measured at various points throughout the house and garage. Progressive interventions including air/duct sealing and passive/mechanical ventilation were implemented and their impacts measured. Air sealing was only effective in some cases, and was least effective at sites with forced air HVAC equipment located in the garage. Mechanical ventilation was effective at all sites, but the effectiveness of moderate flow rates varied from site to site. An overall general suggestion of 170 m3/hr per car bay should be moderately effective at most sites, after the major air sealing opportunities are addressed.",
