(µg/m3). US VOC limits for adhesives go for testing of VOC content in a can of non-used liquid adhesive and gives results as g/l. There is no correlation between both- except if there is absolutely zero VOC...

Hello, can anybody help me with the question: We have a lot of topsoil and ground, removed from building footprint. As i understand- If we comply with SS Cr.5.1. we cannot use the soil and ground at adjacent territories, because we must leave territory undisturbed (at first it was grassland there). So how can we use both fertile topsoil and ground to make it right and reach this credit? Are there some ways to do it? SSc5.1 ...

Could you please share examples of submittal documentation for this credit, that is "drawings showing the line of sight from interior spaces through exterior windows in both plan and sectional views." Also if the building has approximately 120 different rooms (offices and patient rooms): 1. Do we draw sectional view for each space? 2. Is furniture requried to be shown in plan? IEQc8.2 ...

? "Impervious surfaces have a perviousness of less than 50% and promote runoff of water instead of infiltration into the subsurface. Examples include parking lots, roads, sidewalks, and plazas." "Perviousness is the percentage of the surface area of a paving system that is open and allows moisture to soak into the ground below." Perviousness refers only to paving systems, therefore imperviousness refers only to paving systems...rubbish! I have an existing site. The new building will be built on an underground parking garage which is currently covered by a layer of turf...so...

a clear line between material that is definitively moldy and that which is definitively not. Seems like a conservative approach in terms of casting a wide net to avoid future health and durability issues...

A building provides outside air for ventilation based on CO2 concentrations in the return air. When CO2 concentrations exceed ambient + 590 ppm, the OA damper is opened to allow more OA to mix with return and reduce CO2 levels in the space. Fans speeds are also increased for OA AHU, floor AHU and return/relief. This essentially allows the building to operate with a lower amount of OA than the ASHRAE 62.1-2007 calculation requires. This “lower minimum” would essentially be the OA rate required based on the area OA rate (i.e., 0.06 cfm/sf) and distribution effectiveness, the people OA rate would be zero...
