At Indoor Air 2005 the author gave a plenary in which he channeled Aretha Franklin to suggest that the IAQ field needed to give ventilation more R-E-S-P-E-C-T. That presentation and subsequent paper (Persily, 2006) stressed the science behind ventilation requirements, deficiencies in how ventilation is measured in IAQ studies, and the misuse of indoor CO2 as a ventilation indicator. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is fortunately more interest in ventilation (Morawska, et al., 2021), but confusion remain. This abstract clarifies several issues related to building ventilation, which is needed now more than ever.
