There are three types of ventilation systems:
|
• Mechanical ventilation (active)
• Natural ventilation (passive) • Mixed mode ventilation (active and passive) |
|
The goals of IEQ can be achieved by implementing the following strategies (6):
|
• Improved ventilation
• Managing contaminants • Low VOC material selection • Occupant controllability of systems • Increased daylight and views • Acoustics (Schools) |
|
Environmental Tobacco Smoke can be prevented by (2):
|
• No smoking in the building or within 25 feet of entrances, operable windows and air intakes
• Smoking permitted inside must be confined to spaces built per ASTM E779-03 |
|
CO2 contamination can be prevented by installing:
|
• Carbon dioxide monitors integrated into the ventilation systems that supply proper amounts of ventilation to occupants based on occupant loads
|
|
BMP during construction and related to IEQ are (5):
|
• Cover return and supply air ducts to prevent contaminants from recirculating through the HVAC systems
• Practice good housekeeping; clean spills immediately • Prevent mold by protecting all materials from moisture • Prevent dust and particulate infiltration and buildup • Install high efficiency filters with high MERV ratings to reduce smaller particulates during construction and replace prior to occupancy |
|
BMP after construction and prior to occupancy related to IEQ are (2):
|
BMP after construction and prior to occupancy related to IEQ are (2):
|
|
BMP after construction and prior to occupancy related to IEQ are (2):
|
• Sizing ventilation systems to provide adequate outside air to building occupants follow industry standards such as ASHRAE Standard 62, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality - the more outside air introduced into the space, the more diluted contaminants become.
