This study tested the efficiency of commercial air purification systems designed for indoor environments. Eachsystem was tested for efficiency of removal of dust particulates (PM2.5) and Total Volatile Organic Compounds ina full-scale indoor air quality laboratory, based on the Association of Home Appliances Manufacturers AHAMAC-1 testing standard. Initial performance was evaluated in terms of efficiency of pollutant removal, and CleanAir Delivery Rate. An on-site air purification model was developed to predict the performance of air purificationequipment. After the comparison and analysis of experimental results, root-mean-square error, Mean AbsoluteError and Mean Absolute Percentage Error were also applied to test the accuracy of the model. Based on testresults, the on-site air indoor air purification products were found reliable in terms of design suitable for ven-tilation equipment or air cleaners. The optimum combination of indoor air purification equipment can improveindoor air quality. It can supply improved indoor air quality for a given application.
