An integrated model of VOCs emission/sorption from/on dry building materials with a general boundary condition, variable air exchange rate and inlet concentration is developed. An analytical solution is obtained by using the generalized integral transform technique. Good agreements are obtained between the present model and the experimental data. The effects of environmental conditions on the emission are investigated. The emission from two surfaces can increase the concentration of hexanal in the air and decrease the initial emission rate at x=δ with the increase in mass transfer coefficient at x=0. Periodical inlet concentration can lead to the periodic variation of materials between a source and a sink. Ventilation can keep the concentration in the air at a low level and help to decrease the concentration of hexanal in materials. The present model is capable of simulating indoor air quality due to the VOCs emission and sorption.
