Commissioning to avoid indoor air quality problems.

Author(s) : STERLING E., COLLETT C., TURNER S., DOWNING C.

Summary

The risk of indoor air quality (IAQ) problems appearing in new and reconditioned buildings is a concern of significant proportions. In North America, research undertaken by federal agencies has indentified the source of IAQ problems to be malfunctioning, poorly maintained, or inadequately designed heating ventilation and air conditioning systems. In 1989, ASHRAE published the first formal guideline for commissioning of HVAC systems. To great extent, the intent of the guideline was to provide a means of avoiding IAQ problems in newly constructed buildings. The guideline is now being revised and will incorporate a section devoted to avoiding IAQ problems in both new and reconditioned buildings.
