Author(s) : STERLING E. M., ARCH B.

Summary

In North America, research has identified the source of IAQ problems to be malfunctioning, poorly maintained or inadequately designed HVAC systems in more than 50% of investigated buildings. Many problems could have been avoided by proper commissioning of the buildings prior to occupancy. The paper discusses commissioning procedures intended to reduce the risk of IAQ problems.
