ASHRAE 62.1 Standard for Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality provides recommendations for minimum ventilation rates and other parameters to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ). Keeping the IAQ at a safe level will help to minimize any adverse health effects caused by air quality factors.
The 62.1 standard is intended for both new building and building addition projects. It can also be used as a guide for the improvement of IAQ in existing buildings.
In order to properly conform to the ASHRAE 62.1 standard, it is necessary for sensors to be both stable and accurate. Continue reading “How is Stability Related to ASHRAE 62.1 Standards?”
As buildings continue to become more and more energy efficient, we continue to see updates and recommendations to building designs. For example, ASHRAE recently published an update to Standard 62.1 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality that covers changes to how we monitor and control humidity in occupied spaces.
