Description
Maintaining adequate ventilation and thermal comfort within the built environment is important for occupant health and safety, comfort, and productivity
Having sensors measure CO2 concentrations, temperature and relative humidity within the building HVAC system can provide useful information to help manage indoor air quality
Requirements
a. At least one sensor must be installed within a regularly occupied space in the building
b. Demonstrate air quality sensors are present within the HVAC system, as follows:
-
- The BAS system must be equipped with sensors to measure CO2 concentrations, temperature, and relative humidity in the air supply serving at least 75% of the occupied spaces in the building
- Sensors must be non-dispersive infrared and provided by a reputable manufacturer
- Sensors should be either self-calibrating or regularly calibrated as per manufacturer’s direction
c. Provide BAS readouts that demonstrate how IAQ is monitored on the BAS
d. Provide brief narrative explaining how BAS readings are used to inform building operations & maintenance procedures
Documentation
- Purchase orders, installation records, maintenance work orders or photos of sensors installed
- Screenshots of BAS readings
- Narrative of IAQ monitoring activities
