Overview
Beginning with specific guidelines for assessing and measuring indoor air contaminants, this hands-on reference details engineering, maintenance and operational procedures which may be applied to correct problems associated with "sick building syndrome," and generally to assure the safety and quality of indoor air. Among the solutions examined are retrofitting of VAV systems with IAQ sensors, use of desiccants to remove air contaminants, and new ventilation efficiency techniques. Guidelines for optimizing operation and maintenance in terms of their impact on indoor air quality are also provided. The techniques presented are those which can provide for the quality of air in indoor environments while not sacrificing energy efficiency. While emphasizing practical IAQ solutions which can be readily implemented in new as well as in older buildings, the author has also included a number of state-of-the-art techniques and new methods for which testing has only recently been completed.Book Details
