Abstract
While most discussions of high performance buildings (HPB) include site impacts, water use, energy, materials and indoor environmental quality, energy often receives more attention than these other attributes. Given that buildings exist primarily for the occupants, indoor air quality (IAQ) within these buildings merits serious consideration. ASHRAE/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1, Design of High-Performance Green Buildings, is the only consensus standard for HPBs (except low-rise residential), and valid questions exist as to whether or not it is consistent with high performance IAQ. This paper discusses high performance IAQ and approaches to move Standard 189.1 as well as other programs to higher performance IAQ. In many cases, the formal requirements in standards are inadequate to achieve this goal, and therefore this paper also discusses the role of guidance documents and other information.Proceedings Title
