Thirty-six (36) of the indoor measurements for temperature were below and none of the measurements were above the range of 73 to 79°F (at 50 percent relative humidity) as recommended by the ASHRAE Standard 55-1992 during the summer season. 3. One (1) of the indoor measurements for relative humidity was above and none of the measurements were below the ASHRAE-recommended range of 30 to 60 percent for occupant comfort. 4. All of the indoor measurements for PM2.5 were below the NPAAQS of 65 pg/m^ 24-hour average concentration of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or less in aerodynamic diameter and the USEPA recommended concentration of 40 pg/m3 for sensitive individuals and children.
