It is process of monitoring the quality of air in walls of building. The
air quality is measured in terms of parameters like Carbon Dioxide,
Carbon Monoxide, and Room Temperature and Humidity levels in
buildings.

the building structures.
Air leakage is uncontrolled flow of air that persists in gaps and
cracks of the building envelopes.
