This study provides valuable insights for optimizing indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential environments. By understanding how filter selection and ventilation strategies influence clean air distribution, we can make recommendations for maximizing air purifier effectiveness and occupant well-being within homes. The findings are particularly relevant for individuals with respiratory sensitivities or living in areas with compromised outdoor air quality. Through experiments conducted in a low-energy cooling test bed that replicated the volume of a master bedroom, we investigated the impact of filter Media Efficiency Rating (MERV) and ventilation configurations on clean air distribution rates within a residential setting.
