本次调查的主要目的是描述零售商店样本中的通风、室内空气质量和乘客感知。这项工作的动机包括零售大楼通风所消耗的大量能源，以及零售工人职业性接触和客户间歇性接触室内空气污染物的可能性。一个重要的结果是评估美国零售建筑是否可以减少通风，以及减少多少通风，并仍然保持可接受的室内空气质量。报告的结构包括简要介绍和动机（第1章），对通风、室内空气质量和零售环境中的居住者感知的文献进行批判性审查（第2章），对样本和本次调查中使用的方法进行概述，包括质量保证活动（第3章），对结果的详细探索（第4章），以及- 深入探讨了贯穿研究不同部分的三个问题（第5章）、我们学到的对未来类似调查和更广泛的ASHRAE社区有用的经验教训（第6章），以及主要结论的总结（第7章）。文献检索未发现涉及零售店通风、室内空气质量和顾客感知的全面调查的文章。然而，有几篇文章论述了拟议调查的一个或多个方面。公布的通风和室内空气污染物浓度的结果显示，全球零售业存在很大差异。由于方法和样本的不同，直接比较很困难，但文献结果表明，从与过度通风相关的能量以及一些零售建筑中的高污染物浓度两个角度来看，都有理由担忧。

The primary goal of this investigation was to characterize the ventilation, indoor air quality, and occupant perception in a sample of retail stores. The motivations for this work included the large amount of energy that is spent ventilating retail buildings, as well as the potential for occupational exposure of retail workers and intermittent exposure of customers to indoor air pollutants. One important outcome is an assessment of whether and how much ventilation could be reduced and still maintain acceptable indoor air quality in U.S. retail buildings.The structure of the report includes a brief introduction and motivation (Chapter 1), a critical review of the literature on ventilation, indoor air quality, and occupant perceptions in retail environments (Chapter 2), an overview of the sample and the methods used in this investigation, including quality assurance activities (Chapter 3), a detailed exploration of the results (Chapter 4), an in-depth addressing of three issues that cut across different parts of the study (Chapter 5), the lessons that we learned that would be useful for future similar investigations and more broadly for the ASHRAE community (Chapter 6), and a summary of the major conclusions (Chapter 7).The literature search revealed no articles that addressed a comprehensive investigation of ventilation, indoor air quality, and occupant perception in retail stores. There were, however, several articles that addressed one or more aspects of the proposed investigation. Published results for both ventilation and indoor air contaminant concentrations revealed a wide variation across the global retail sector. Direct comparisons are difficult because of differences in methodology and samples, but the literature results suggest reason for concern from both the perspectives of the energy associated with excess ventilation, as well as the high contaminant concentrations in some retail buildings.
