Indoor Air Quality
The IAQ evaluation included collection of seventy-five real-time measurements of temperature,
relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), respirable particulates and total
I volatile organic compounds (TVOC). Currently, there are no regulatory standards for indoor air
quality in non-industrial buildings, such as residential units. For the real-time data collected,
ATC uses the commonly accepted guidelines cited in the following publications:
I • Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (ASHRAE 62-1999), American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE);
I •
Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy (ASHRAE 55-1992);
Industrial Hygienists Guide to Indoor Air Quality Investigations (1993), American Industrial
,, Hygiene Association (AIHA).
