Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Accordingly to the EPA, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is up to 5 times worse than
outdoor Air

IAQ
Filters•Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)
– Flat filters is 1 to 4. – ASHRAE Standard 62.1 2010 requires
a minimum filter requirement of a MERV 6.

Filters•The International Mechanical Code IMC-2009
– does not state a minimum MERV value for filters

IAQ
Filters• For ventilation purposes
– Increase MERV ratings to 16• Add pre-filters
– effectiveness on dust– pollens, – emission particles before entering a ventilation
system, – utilizing instruments that monitor and manipulate
ventilation and filtering based on occupancy and air characteristics

housing stock lack a ventilation system
– Negative to increase filtering• Need more Air Pressure

Source Elimination Strategy
“If there is a pile of manure in a space, do not try to remove the odor by ventilation.
Max Van Pettenkofer (1848)
Remove the pile of manure.”

Take-aways or the ‘Ah hahs’
• Identify the contaminants that are in your building (they will be unique)
• First try to eliminate them, then capture them, then filter them.
• If all else fails, dilute them
