Characterizing Indoor Air Quality Performance Using a Graphical Approach

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin Y. Teichman, Andrew K. Persily, Steven Emmerich
In this paper, we describe and demonstrate an approach to illustrate the performance of buildings with respect to indoor air quality (IAQ). In the absence of an adequate or agreed-upon IAQ metric(s), we describe a graphical approach to presenting IAQ

In this paper, we describe and demonstrate a graphical approach to illustrating the indoor air quality (IAQ) performance of high-performing buildings. We start by describing previous efforts to establish IAQ and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) metrics

Indoor Air Quality in High-Performing Building Case Studies: Got Data?

May 12, 2015

Kevin Y. Teichman, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
In this paper, we review how indoor air quality (IAQ) has been addressed in case studies of high-performing buildings (HPBs), specifically the case studies described in ASHRAE’s “High Performing Buildings” magazine. We find that nearly all of the reported
