Author(s) : WOODS J. E.

Summary

NOTES RECENT INVESTIGATIONS WHICH SUGGEST THE EXISTENCE OF 2 POPULATIONS OF BUILDINGS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATIONS: PROBLEM BUILDINGS (20-30%), THOSE WITHOUT KNOWN PROBLEMS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH UNDETECTED PROBLEMS AND THOSE WITH AN ABSENCE OF PROBLEMS (HEALTHY BUILDINGS). PRESENTS DATA WHICH INDICATE THAT MOST PROBLEM BUILDINGS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE OF HVAC SYSTEMS. SUGGESTS PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF THESE SYSTEMS. MAINTAINS ON THE BASIS OF THESE DATA AND CRITERIA THAT INDOOR AIR QUALITY IS EVOLVING FROM THE PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHROMETRICS AND THAT VENTILATION EFFICIENCY MAY BE A CRITICAL CONCEPT FOR COST-EFFECTIVE CONTROL.
