TL;DR: A new approach to estimating CO2 generation rates is presented, which is based on the described concepts from the fields of human metabolism and exercise physiology, which relate these rates to body size and composition, diet, and level of physical activity.

Abstract: Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been used for decades to characterize building ventilation and indoor air quality. Many of these applications require rates of CO2 generation from the building occupants, which are currently based on approaches and data that are several decades old. However, CO2 generation rates can be derived from well-established concepts within the fields of human metabolism and exercise physiology, which relate these rates to body size and composition, diet, and level of physical activity. This paper reviews how CO2 generation rates have been estimated in the past and discusses how they can be characterized more accurately. Based on this information, a new approach to estimating CO2 generation rates is presented, which is based on the described concepts from the fields of human metabolism and exercise physiology. Using this approach and more recent data on body mass and physical activity, values of CO2 generation rates from building occupants are presented along with the variability that may occur based on body mass and activity data.

Experimental assessment of thermal comfort and indoor air quality in worship places: The influence of occupancy level and period
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the influence of the occupancy level and period on thermal comfort sensation and indoor air quality in a mosque located in Bahrain and found that social distancing between worshippers, during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, causes a feeling of coolness under the existing cooling system.
