A method is disclosed for controlling an atmosphere within an aircraft. The method includes sensing, by at least one cabin occupancy sensor, a number of empty seats within a cabin of the aircraft. Data representative of the number of empty seats from the at least one cabin occupancy sensor is communicated by the at least one cabin occupancy sensor to an electronic controller. The electronic controller is in communication with a cabin air circulation system and an environmental control system. The electronic controller sends a flow command to the environmental control system and the cabin air circulation system to adjust a rate of an air inflow into the cabin based on the number of empty seats sensed by the at least one cabin occupancy sensor.
