Hello, 

Previously, I've focused on completing the Minimum IAQ Calculator using only the "densely occupied" zones (defined as any space that has a people density of at least 25 people/1000 sf. Is there a similarly simplified method for applicable for residential projects? Or is entering each dwelling unit required for this calculator?

Hi RDK & ES, I assume you have mechanical ventilation in every unit. You can use your own spreadsheet to calculate each dwelling OA. It is much easier than 62.1 calculations.

Thanks Gustavo for your time; Unfortunately, that does not address my question of whether a simplified method is available vs. entering each dwelling unit in the calculator.
