We evaluated nine combinations of ventilation and air cleaning systems for pollutant removal and energy use. Systems included supply, exhaust, and balanced ventilation; filtration on ventilation supply and on recirculating FAU; filters with varying MERV ratings; and three VOC air cleaning technologies. All were installed in an unoccupied 2006 house located 250m downwind of I80 in Sacramento, and evaluated for effectiveness at reducing outdoor particles in summer and fall/winter, ozone and VOCs in summer, and indoor particles generated from cooking. Energy use of the systems was estimated for year-round operation in varied California climates.
