Popis: A material emission database was developed for 48 building materials based on ASTM test methods. The database consists of model coefficients for the five to six most abundant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from each building material. A power-law model was used to describe the emissions from dry materials including particleboard, plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), solid wood, gypsum wallboard, acoustic ceiling tile, vinyl flooring, underpad, and carpet. The VOC emissions from wet materials were divided into three temporal regions with separate emission models including a vapor pressure and boundary layer model, an exponential decay model, and a power-law model. The wet materials include wood stain, polyurethane varnish, adhesive, caulking sealant, floor wax, and paint. Since the database is linked to a single-zone indoor air quality simulation program, it can be used to explore trade-offs between material selection and ventilation strategies.
