Recommendations in a nutshell:
DCV systems can be successfully applied for indoor air quality control in a number of different types of buildings.
The most suitable is application in premises with varying occupancy density.
The controlling sensor must be located in a place where it best represents and responds to the measured indicator.
For best performance a DCV system should be designed, installed, commissioned and operated under a constant and
complete commissioning process.
