Simple question: Do we need to fill out an I-Beam audit form for each air handler? Or just the main four central fans for the building?

Hi Nena
The I-BEAM Audit forms cover three sections of the building's indoor air quality - HVAC systems, building interior and building exterior. This is just a visual inspection conducted using the I-BEAM forms and a walk-through of the building. It must cover all relevant components listed in the I-BEAM forms, and I don't believe sampling is permitted, but even on very large buildings shouldn't take more than a half day. Take a look at the Baseline IAQ Audit Form located under Documentation Toolkit for more information.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, he has reviewed the form, but I believe the question was whether the audit questions need to be answered for each AHU or just the 4 main central fans. For example, one of the categories is Outdoor Air Intake and Dampers in AHU, would the questions in this category need to answered for each AHU?

Nelina,
I would assume yes, at least that's how we are currently doing ours.
