A document specific to a building project that outlines measures to minimize contamination info the building during construction and to flush the building of contaminants prior to occupancy
|
What is a Construction IAQ Management Plan?
|
|
|
The nature of air inside the space that affects the healthy and well being of building occupants
|
What is Indoor Air Quality?
|
|
|
Provide by means of mechanical powered equipment, such as motor driven fans and blowers, but not by any devices such as wind driven turbine ventilators and mechanically operated windows?
|
What is Mechanical Ventilation?
|
|
|
Provided by thermal, wind or diffusion effects through doors, windows or other intentional openings in the building.
|
What is Natural Ventilation?
|
|
|
The process of supplying air and removing air from a space for the purpose of controlling air contaminant levels, humidity, or temperature within a space.
|
What is Ventilation?
|
|
|
a Ventilation Strategy that combines natural ventilation with mechanical ventilation allowing the building to be ventilated either mechanically or naturally and at times both mechanically and naturally simultaneously.
|
What is Mixed-mode Ventilation?
|
|
|
Consists of airborne particles emitted from the burning end of cigarettes, pipes and cigars, and exhaled by smokers. These particles contain about 4,000 different compounds, up to 40 of which are known to cause cancer. Also know as secondhand smoke.
|
What is Environmental Tobacco Smoke?
|
|
|
The process of treating air to meet the requirements of a conditioned space by controlling its temperature, humidity, cleanliness and distribution.
|
What is Air Conditioning?
|
|
|
The region within a an occupied space between planes 3 and 6 ft. above the floor and more than 2 ft. from the walls or fixed a/c equipment.
|
What is the Breathing Zone?
|
|
|
That part of a building that is heated or cooled, or both, for the comfort of occupants.
|
What is a Conditioned Space?
|
|
|
The Uncontrolled outward air leakage from a conditioned space through unintentional openings in ceilings, floors and walls to unoccupied spaces or the outdoors caused by pressure differences across these openings due to wind, inside-outside temperature differences (stack effect), and imbalances between supply and exhaust airflow rates.
|
What is Exfiltration?
|
|
|
The air removed from a space and discharged to outside the building by means of mechanical or natural ventilation systems.
|
What is Exhaust Air?
|
|
|
The uncontrolled inward air leakage from conditioned space through unintentional openings in ceilings, floors and walls from unconditioned spaces or the outdoors caused by the same pressure differences that induce exfiltration.
|
What is Infiltration?
|
|
|
Any combination of outdoor and transfer air intended to replace exhaust air and exfiltration.
|
What is Make-up Air?
|
|
|
The ambient air that enters a building through a ventilation system , through intentional openings for natural ventilation, or by infiltration.
|
What is Outdoor Air?
|
|
|
Air removed from a space and reused as supply air.
|
What is Recirculated Air?
|
|
|
Air that is removed from a space to be then recirculated of exhausted.
|
What is Return Air?
|
|
|
What does CIBSE stand for?
|
Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers
|
|
|
The air delivered by mechanical or natural ventilation to a space, composed of any combination of outdoor air, recirculated air, recirculated air or transfer air.
|
What is Supply Air?
|
|
|
EQ p1 Minimum IAQ Performance: For natural ventilation systems, ventilated spaces must satisfy what 2 criteria in relation to the ventilation openings?
|
Permanently open to AND within 25 feet of
|
|
|
EQ p1 Minimum IAQ Performance: For natural ventilation systems, the minimum openable area shall be at least what?
|
4% of the net occupiable floor area
|
|
|
EQ Prerequisite 1: Minimum IAQ Performance: What items are to be included with the submittal documents for this credit?
|
1. Narrative of project's ventilation design (including air volumes and special conditions) PLUS Confirm compliance with Ven Rate Procedure of Para 5.1
