From: Andre Henriques This is a guide to help you use the calculator app.
If you are using the expert version of the tool, you should look at the expert notes. For more information on the Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2, feel free to check out the HSE Seminar: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2743403 The methodology, mathematical equations and parameters of the model are described here: https://edms.cern.ch/ui/file/2566402/1/CARA_Deterministic_parameters_2020.pdf The methodology, mathematical equations and parameters of the model are described here in the CERN Report: CERN-OPEN-2021-004

+P(I) or probability of one exposed person getting infected.
It is estimated based on the emission rate of virus into the simulated volume, and the amount which is inhaled by exposed individuals.
-This probability is valid for the simulation duration - i.e. if you have simulated one day and plan to work 5 days in these conditions and the infected person emits the same amount of virus each day, the cumulative probability of infection is (1-(1-P(i))^5).
+This probability is valid for the simulation duration - i.e. the start and end time.
If you are using the natural ventilation option, the simulation is only valid for the selected month, because the following or preceding month will have a different average temperature profile.
The expected number of new cases for the simulation is calculated based on the probability of infection, multiplied by the number of exposed occupants.Exposure graph
