Type of article: Article
Summary
Homes are being constructed and retrofitted to make them more airtight for energy conservation purposes. In addition, many homeowners report never opening windows for ventilation. As a result, these airtight homes with closed windows have very low outdoor air exchange rates, which can result in elevated concentrations of indoor air contaminants with indoor sources. In recognition of this trend, ASHRAE Standard 62.2, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, has required mechanical outdoor air ventilation in residences since 2003.
