April 8, 2014: ASHRAE Proposes Moving All Residential IAQ Requirements to Standard 62.2
Changes Would Modify 62.1 and 62.2
ATLANTA — ASHRAE has announced a proposed change to Standard 62.2 that would place all residential dwelling unit IAQ requirements under that standard in order to provide consistency of ventilation requirements.
Currently, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, has responsibility for multifamily residential buildings four stories or more, while ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2013, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, has responsibility for residential buildings three stories and less.
