The article presents the results of simulations on the impact of ventilation systems combined with moisture buffering in partitions on air quality and thermal comfort in a nursery. The simulations were conducted using theWUFI Plus software. The performance of mechanical ventilation was compared with gravity ventilation. The analyses indicated that controlling CO2 concentration is more favorable for local comfort, and moisture buffering inmaterials reduces the amplitude of humidity changes in the room.
