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?

NC-2009 IEQc3.2:Construction IAQ Management Plan—Before Occupancy

Number of IAQ samples required ?

Our project consists of (5 townhouse + multipurpose room). This is considered as one building. townhouses are 3-5 floors and each is served by 1 AHU = total 5 AHUs The multipurpose room has its own AHU. The townhouses are not typical. Is it sufficient to take one sample for each townhouse + 1 for the multipurpose room = Total 6. following the guidelines, each floor of each town house must be sample, which means 4-5 samples must be taken per townhouse since the AHU is serving multiple floors. ?? Please advise

Michael, Based on our testing experience, your interpretation of the guideline is correct. "In each area served by a single air handler, samples must be collected for each 25,000 square feet of floor space, or each contiguous floor space....". Each floor must be sampled to comply with the credit requirements. Only in situations such as schools, dormitories or hotels have we seen "identical" rooms be sampled under a different protocol but even in those cases that did not eliminated the requirement for at least one sample per continuous floor.
