I've been looking at Appendix C of ASHRAE 62.1-2010 for a way, and I keep scratching my head. Does anyone how to calculate for the CO2 setpoint to pursue the carbon dioxide monitoring strategy?

Hi all,
Based on the ASHRAE Appendix C: Cs – Co = N/Vo
If the ventilation rate required in a space (Vo) is 7.5 L/s and CO2 generation rate per person (N) is 0.31 L/min (equal to the respiration of a seated person), steady state CO2 concentration (Cs - Co) = 689 ppm or round up to be 700 ppm.
Therefore, the CO2 concentration in the space (Cs) shall not greater than 700 ppm above CO2 concentration in outdoor air (Co).
