Is there a requirement for an air flow monitoring station in a vertical air handler for a small resdiential apartment in a dormatory building? Typically these spaces only require around 100 cfm of outside air. Is there an exception for small units with small airflow vlaues?

The intent of this credit is to maintain occupant well being. There are no exceptions that I know of for residential units. If the OA is supplied directly to the individual units in the dorms then you need to either install an air flow monitor OR per CIR 3/15/2007 meet the requirements by installing a CO2 sensor in lieu of an air monitoring system.
