FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Should we install furniture and furnishings before IAQ testing or flushout?

The air temperature and/or relative humidity went out of the credit requirement specifications for a portion of the flush-out. What do we do? Can we extend the flush-out for the equivalent amount of time to make up for it?

Our project single floor mixed use space, with a large single heat recovery unit providing outside air to all of the spaces. Additionally there are 17 plenum return heat pumps located throughout the spaces used to condition the air in the spaces. Since all of the spaces are normally occupied, would we be required to take a (1) IAQ sample or (18) samples (17 heat pumps & 1 HRU). Sampling method wont work for our type of building, but I'm curious if the OA serving the space is considered the ventilation system or if the heat recovery unit and heat pumps are all considered seperate ventilation systems.

April, The general consensus I recieved was that this would require (2) seperate tests (one for the HRU OA zone and one for the Docking Bay served by Natural Ventilation), since the Heat Pumps are not Ventilation units based on ASHRAE mechanical design practices. Hope this helps.
