Residential IAQ standard soon up for public review
DALLAS, TX — Butch Welsch is not one to mince words. When the St. Louis, MO contractor found out ASHRAE is soon to release for public review Standard 62.2P, Welsch was enthusiastic that an end appears in sight.
For one who installs heating-cooling systems in about 3,000 new single-family homes a year, finding out what 62.2P, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, recommends in regard to residential ventilation is important. He was heartened that the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) signed on — at least conceptually — to the idea of an indoor air quality (IAQ) standard for new construction.
