A series of tests was conducted to characterize the indoor carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations resulting from portable electric generators operating in the attached garage of a test house under various use and environmental conditions. An extensive model validation effort using the multizone airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) model CONTAM was carried out using the data from seven tests with a generator operating in the attached garage to compare predicted CO concentrations with measured values. The agreement between the measurements and predictions of the O₂ concentrations in the garage and the average CO concentration for the house zones was excellent for the data set as a whole. The agreement was somewhat worse for the garage CO concentrations. Overall, the house zone average and garage CO concentration predictions and measurements were within about 20% and 30%, respectively, when averaged over all cases.

进行了一系列测试，以表征在各种使用和环境条件下，在测试室所附车库中运行的便携式发电机产生的室内一氧化碳（CO）浓度的特征。使用多区域气流和室内空气质量（IAQ）模型CONTAM进行了广泛的模型验证工作，其中使用了来自附设车库中运行的发电机的七个测试的数据，以比较预测的CO浓度和测量值。O ₂的测量值与预测值之间的一致性对于整个数据集，车库中的浓度和房屋区域的平均CO浓度都非常好。对于车库的CO浓度，该协议有些差。总体而言，当对所有案例取平均值时，房屋区域的平均值和车库CO浓度的预测值和测量值分别在20％和30％之内。
