ASHRAE's Residential Ventilation Standard: Exegesis of Proposed Standard 62.2
Abstract
In February 2000, ASHRAE's Standard Project
Committee on "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor
Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings", SPC
62.2P7 recommended ASHRAE's first complete
standard on residential ventilation for public review.
The standard is an attempt by the Society to address
concerns over indoor air quality in dwellings and to
set minimum standards that would allow for energy
efficiency measures to be evaluated. The standard
has requirements for whole-house ventilation, local
exhaust ventilation, and source control. In addition
to code-intended requirements, the standard also
contains guidance information for the designer and/or
user of the standard. This report summarizes the
draft standard and attempts to address questions and
concerns that those potentially affected by the
standard might have. This report may also be of use
to those considering public review comments on the
draft standard.
