Does anyone have experience with demand-controlled ventilation in
commercial/institutional buildings? I am working on a classroom building for a
law school. The occupancy of a classroom can vary widely so we are considering
DCV. I have heard CO2 sensors need frequent recalibration - if so, not a good
strategy for a small institution, where the maintenance people tend to fight
fires rather than leisurely take care of routine maintenance. What other means
are there to determine how many people are in the space? Does anyone have real
building experience here?
