Strategy III
-Balance impacts of ventilation rates on energy use and IAQ to optimize for energy efficiency and health.
– Three strategies for venting buildings-
o Active (mechanical): ASHRAE 62.1-2004, Sec. 6
o Passive (natural)- ASHRAE 62,1-2004 Section 5.1
o Mixed-mode– AHRAE 62.1-2004 Section 6
– Design ventilation systems to at least meet the ASHRAE standard ventilation rates (with errata but without addenda1).
– Increase energy efficiency and occupant comfort by containing ventilation rates on energy use.
