Title
VENTILATION FOR ACCEPTABLE INDOOR AIR QUALITY
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.
Publication Date:
Jun 17, 2008
Scope:
This standard applies to all spaces intended for human occupancy
except those within single-family houses, multi-family structures
of three stories or fewer above grade, vehicles, and aircraft.
This standard defines requirements for ventilation and
air-cleaning system design, installation, commissioning, and
operation and maintenance.
Additional requirements for laboratory, industrial, health care,
and other spaces may be dictated by workplace and other standards,
as well as by the processes occurring within the space.
Although the standard may be applied to both new and existing
buildings, the provisions of this standard are not intended to be
applied retroactively when the standard is used as a mandatory
regulation or code.
This standard does not prescribe specific ventilation rate
requirements for spaces that contain smoking or that do not meet
the requirements in the standard for separation from spaces that
contain smoking.
Ventilation requirements of this standard are based on chemical,
physical, and biological contaminants that can affect air
quality.
Consideration or control of thermal comfort is not included.
This standard contains requirements, in addition to ventilation,
related to certain sources, including outdoor air, construction
processes, moisture, and biological growth.
Acceptable indoor air quality may not be achieved in all
buildings meeting the requirements of this standard for one or more
of the following reasons:
a. because of the diversity of sources and contaminants in
indoor air;
b. because of the many other factors that may affect occupant
perception and acceptance of indoor air quality, such as air
temperature, humidity, noise, lighting, and psychological
stress;
c. because of the range of susceptibility in the population;
and
d. because outdoor air brought into the building may be
unacceptable or may not be adequately cleaned.
