Table 1 Summary of experimental validations and definitions of the representativeness of simulations

Site	Type	Time or scenario	Quantity	Description	Refs.
Crypt	SS	Winter and summer	T, RH, V	Spatially resolved, averaged for season	[26, 44]
Large outdoors site	SS	Prevailing winds	V	Pre-validated with literature data	[8]
Exhibition space	SS	Ventilation scenarios	T	Spatially resolved	[43]
Window frame	SS	Different designs		Spatially resolved	[42]
Chapel	SS	Winter and summer	T	Single point, seasonal averages	[33]
Church	Trans	5 h	T	Several points, continuous data	[45]
Library	Trans	12 h	T, RH	Single point, continuous data	[16]

The column type indicates whether a simulation is steady state (SS) or transient (Trans). The column time or scenario shows the criteria used to define each simulation, which is either a timespan or certain steady-state situation. The column Quantity indicates the parameter measured in the validation experiments (T is temperature, RH is the relative humidity, V is air velocity)
