    Abstract:
    Long-term radon time series were analyzed in 14 rooms and offices to search factors influencing indoor radon concentration in high-rise buildings. Radon entry to living rooms is determined both by diffusion from building materials and advection from adjoined low-ventilated spaces. Humans affect on seasonal and diurnal radon concentration changes in high-rise buildings by activating ventilation system. Indoor-outdoor temperature difference significantly influence on the air exchange rate under uncontrolled ventilation, which is especially important in new energy efficient buildings.
