Summary

The operation of buildings is as, or is more important than, the original design in maintaining a healthy indoor environment and energy efficiency. A number of certification programs and standards specify the use of ventilation system performance monitoring. Monitoring is to be done either based on CO2 concentrations in the occupied space or actual measurement of outdoor airflow, depending on the space design occupancy and ventilation type (mechanical or natural). For example, outdoor air delivery monitoring is a credit option for new construction, existing buildings and the core and shell LEED® programs from the US Green Building Council.
