Investigations results of air quality in residential and public buildings in real conditions of pollution are shown. Impurities due to addictions with inlet air, emission in room from materials and people are had taken into account. Data on outdoor air pollution in the Moscow region are used. The research shows that indoor air pollutions are mostly gas products produced by people, firstly ammonia, which also exists in outdoor air. Ammonia turns out to be an even more effective indicator of pollution than carbon dioxide, which has traditionally been considered such. With examples of different room exploitation regimes ventilation air exchange influence on air quality is shown. Thus in periods without people in room beneficially to minimize air exchange and adaptive (self-regulating) ventilation is most beneficial for rooms when the number of people in a room changes over time. The paper proposes a new air quality assessment index, which can also be used as an index of the overall negative impact on the human body from external factors (air quality, acoustic, electromagnetic and other influences). Relationships between the values of this index and the traditional complex index of air pollution with several impurities are shown.
