FAQs about EQp1 :

We have a VAV system where single AHUs serve multiple zones. Do we need to take outside air measurements at each VAV box?

Our building has a single fan that supplies outside air to multiple AHUs. Do we need to perform outside air testing at the supply fan or at all AHUs?

What if our systems do not meet the required outside air when systems are tested at worst-case conditions?

What if after our Preliminary Review we have to revise the ventilation rate procedure calculations and find that we need to make corrections to the system in order to meet the prerequisite? Can we redo the outside air testing after making corrections? Wou

My building has 80 AHUs providing ventilation to building spaces. Do I have to do the ventilation calculations and conduct outdoor air measurements for each one?

Our system cannot provide enough outdoor air to meet ASHRAE 62.1-2010 due to design limitations. How much outdoor air must we provide to meet Case 2 instead?

The outdoor air intake for our ventilation system is not accessible, and it’s not possible to measure the outdoor airflow directly. How can we determine the outdoor airflow for this system?

How do I find whether my project is located in a non-attainment area for particulate matter or exceeds the prerequisite ozone requirements?

What happened to the IEQ Space Matrix that was available to version 2009 projects? What should I reference to determine how spaces in my building should be categorized for this prerequisite?

EBOM-v4 EQp1:Minimum indoor air quality performance

IAQ calculator occupancy designations?

I'm working on a dormitory that features 4-bedroom suites that are occupied by 5 people (3 single rooms and one double per suite as well as a living room, shower room, sink/vanity area, and toilet). Each suite is its own zone. The basic occupancy designations in the calculator only go as high as a 3-bedroom dwelling-unit with 4 occupants. Should I risk the 3-bedroom unit option and modify the occupancy to 5 or should I instead try the bedroom/living room designation? Additionally, each dorm floor features a combined living/dining room with a kitchen and entertainment/study area. Could the multi-use or multi-purpose assembly designation satisfy this sort of zone? Thanks!

Responding to an older post here. I think it would work to define the whole suite as a single zone system and manually input the expected number of occupants rather than applying the ASHRAE default occupancy. No need to separate out the different sub-spaces within the unit under this approach.
