有代表性的“最坏情况”办公环境，它定义了办公空间的大小和体积、办公家具表面积的数量和类型，以及室外清洁的气流速率，对于根据室内试验测量的排放速率估计办公家具排放对室内VOC浓度的影响是必要的。在这项研究中，31个随机选择的北美办公楼平面图进行了详细分析。2004年末，家具制造商提供了7个跨部门的平面图。分析包括记录每个工作站的潜在辐射表面积，以及确定工作站和其他相邻空间之间有多少公共办公空间（过道等）。第50百分位工作站占地面积范围内的家具总表面积的第90百分位条件是从分析的5000多个工作站中确定的，以提供一个代表性的最差值- 案例——办公室环境模型（即，乘员暴露场景）。根据分析，单工作站系统的代表性“最坏情况”标准开放式办公环境定义为5.94 m2（64 ft2）的建筑面积乘以2.74 m（9 ft）高（576 ft3或16.3 m3），占标准的1.83 m—1.83 m（6 ft—6 ft）开放式工作站系统、交通区域和共享复印机、文件、存储和存储的支持空间，等。根据ASHRAE标准62.1-2004，假设该空间由一名居住者占用，室外或清洁空气通风率为4.17 L/s（8.84 cfm）。单工作站系统的代表性——最坏情况——标准私人办公环境定义为23.78平方米（256平方英尺）、2.74米（9英尺）高（2304平方英尺或65.2平方米），占标准13.38平方米（144平方英尺）私人办公工作站系统、交通区域和共享复印机、文件、存储等的支持空间。 根据ASHRAE标准62.1-2004，假设该空间由一名居住者占用，室外或清洁空气通风率为9.63 L/s（20.4 cfm）。其中包括与历史办公环境模型的比较。单位:双引文:ASHRAE交易，第113卷，第。2.

A representative “worst-case” office environment, which defines the size and volume of the office space, the amount and type of office furniture surface area, and the outdoor, clean airflow rate is necessary to estimate the impact of office furniture emissions on indoor VOC concentrations based on the emission rates measured from chamber tests. In this study, 31 randomly selected floor plans from North American office buildings were analyzed in detail. The floor plans were from projects in late 2004 and early 2005 and were provided by an industry cross section of seven major office furniture manufacturers. The analysis included documenting the potential emitting surface area for each workstation and a determination of how much common office space (aisles, etc.) was present and shared between workstations and other adjoining spaces. The 90th percentile conditions for total furniture surface area within the 50th percentile workstation footprint sizes were identified from the more than 5000 workstations analyzed to provide a representative “worst-case” office environment model (i.e., occupant exposure scenario).Based on the analysis, the representative “worst-case” standard open plan office environment for a single workstation system is defined as 5.94 m2(64 ft2) floor area by 2.74 m (9 ft) high (576 ft3or 16.3 m3), accounting for a standard 1.83 m × 1.83 m (6 ft × 6 ft) open plan workstation system, traffic area, and support space for shared copiers, files, storage, etc. The space is assumed to be occupied by a single occupant and has an outdoor or clean air ventilation rate of 4.17 L/s (8.84 cfm), in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004. The representative “worst-case” standard private office environment for a single workstation system is defined as 23.78 m2(256 ft2) floor area by 2.74 m (9 ft) high (2304 ft3or 65.2 m3), accounting for a standard 13.38 m2(144 ft2) private office workstation system, traffic area, and support space for shared copiers, files, storage, etc. The space is assumed to be occupied by a single occupant and has an outdoor or clean air ventilation rate of 9.63 L/s (20.4 cfm) in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004. A comparison to historical office environment models is included.Units: Dual
