increasing ventilation for safer indoor air
Posted By: Alex Sargent

Minimum Ventilation Rates for Occupied Spaces Ventilation is the controlled introduction of outdoor air into an indoor environment to improve air quality and occupant comfort. By diluting and removing airborne contaminants, ventilation helps reduce exposure to indoor pollutants while also influencing temperature, humidity, and airflow patterns throughout a space. ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Section 6, establishes […]

airflow for health and well being
Posted By: Jan Fischer

The CDC, ASHRAE, and OSHA recognize engineering controls as one of the most effective ways to protect employees, occupants, and communities from airborne hazards. Engineering controls are built into the design of facilities, equipment, and processes to reduce or eliminate risk at the source. Ventilation is a key strategy for removing contaminants and improving indoor […]
