IEQ in Green Buildings

August 1, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew Persily
As I complete my fifth and final year as chair of SSPC 189.1, Design of High-Performance Green Buildings, indulge me while I reflect on how this standard and other green building programs have dealt with indoor environmental quality. I have spent my 35+

Development of Airborne Nanoparticle Exposure Modeling Tools

July 27, 2018
Author(s)
William S. Dols, Andrew K. Persily, Brian J. Polidoro
Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) are being used in many applications including consumer products. There are many different means by which ENPs may be incorporated into these products (freely- dispersed, embedded, reactive or passive) which can impact the

Evaluation of Formaldehyde Reference Material for Chamber Emission Testing

July 22, 2018
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck, Na Li, Wenhao Chen
Formaldehyde reference materials are being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use in regulatory emission testing certification programs. Emission rates for a prototype formaldehyde reference material were determined

Simmering Sauces! Elevated Formaldehyde Concentrations from Gas Stove Burners

July 22, 2018
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck, Mengyan Gong
Formaldehyde is listed as a human carcinogen, and can be formed as a primary by-product during combustion processes. Past studies have not detected elevated formaldehyde concentrations from gas stoves, perhaps due to the time averaging nature of previous

Ventilation, IAQ and Filtration in a Net Zero Energy House

May 24, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Lisa C. Ng, Dustin G. Poppendieck, Steven J. Emmerich
The Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development and adoption of cost-effective net zero energy designs and technologies. The 250 m2 two-story

Balancing Energy and IAQ: NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

April 18, 2018
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Dustin G. Poppendieck, William S. Dols, Brian P. Dougherty, Steven J. Emmerich
Buildings used 39 % of all energy used in the United States in 2017, with residential buildings and commercial buildings accounting for 20 % and 19% (EIA 2018) respectively. Zero energy buildings have the potential to help extend and accelerate the recent

Evaluation of a Formaldehyde Emissions Reference Material

September 5, 2017
Author(s)
Dustin Poppendieck, Mengyan Gong
The development and use of low-volatile organic compounds (VOCs) building materials and products is a key strategy to reduce ventilation and energy use in buildings while preserving the health and sustainability of the indoor environment. Labelling and

Photochemical Properties of CH2=CH-CFCl-CF2Br (4-bromo-3-chloro-3,4,4-trifluoro-1-butene) and CH3-O-CH-(CF3)2 (methyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-1-trifluoromethyl ether): OH Reaction Rate Constant, UV and IR Absorption Spectra.
