My Tank Thread
I totally agree with your explanation. I guess I should of been more specific and said because the the CO2 molecules are homogeneity mixed with the air molecules you will have roughly the same CO2 level in the basement as the rest of the home. Occupation in one area of the home does not necessarily mean the CO2 levels in the other areas are going to be lower. Would that be a better explanation in simple terms?
That could be true, especially in a home with forced air heat or air conditioning. If there is no air forced between rooms, flow of CO2 into rooms where people typically are not will probably make CO2 lower there, but maybe not as low as outside.
