Tech Session 2: Leveraging the Revamped ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP)
The conventional strategy for achieving acceptable indoor air quality relies on continuously replacing indoor air with outside air to expel indoor-generated gaseous contaminants and manage indoor air quality (IAQ). As a result, building designers must size their equipment to be capable of tempering the large volumes of ventilation air required during both summer and winter peak weather conditions—a significant factor when calculating energy usage intensity (EUI) associated with HVAC—negatively effecting EUI design targets.
Instead of continuously replacing indoor air with outside air to expel indoor-generated gaseous contaminants and manage IAQ, indoor air can be cleaned using sorbent filters. Through air cleaning and applying the revamped ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP), the amount of outside air required can be reduced by up to 75%, thereby reducing the load on HVAC systems and achieving double-digit energy savings.
