New guidelines on Legionella.

Type of article: Article

Summary

ASHRAE Guideline 12 was issued in May 2000 following six years of committee effort and a January 2000 approval by the Board of Directors. The Guideline provides environmental and operational guidance that will contribute to the safe operation of building water systems so as to minimize the risk of Legionnaires' disease. It is intended for use with non-residential building systems and centralized systems in multi-family residential buildings. While not specifically intended for single family residential building systems, at least some of the information is applicable to these systems. The Guideline is suitable for use by designers, installers, owners, operators, users, maintenance personnel and equipment manufacturers.
