Title Indoor air quality from commissioning through building operations
Bibliographic information Nov. 1991, Vol.33, No.11, p.42-44, 46-48. 4 ref.
Abstract The building commissioning process includes procedures and methods for verifying and documenting the performance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) to ensure proper operation according to design intent and performance goals. The paper examines the relationship of this process to maintaining acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ). Ventilation requirements for reconfigured space are presented. The probable causes of Sick Building Syndrome are discussed, along with preventative measures and control techniques. Air sampling techniques and measurements necessary to investigate IAQ problems are outlined.
