NC-v4 EQp1:Minimum indoor air quality performance

ASHRAE 62.1 2010. Section 6.2.1.2 PM2.5

Hello
We are working on the LEED project in Korea.

I have a question about ASHRAE 62.1 2010.
Section 6.2.1.2 says, "When the building is located in an area where the national standard or guidelines for PM2.51 is exhausted, particle filters or air cleaning devices shall be provided to clean the outdoor organization."

It's stated as. What does the National Standard mean here? Are you telling me to follow Korea's PM2.5 standard? If there are no national standards, what standards should I follow? There is no standard for PM2.5 in Korea in the EPA standards.

Hi Seungmin Kim, Luckily, in your country don't have standard, So you can ignore this. When you fill EQ Prerequisite Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance form, you don't check to "The project is located in a non-attainment area for PM2.5. The project has MERV 11 or higher filters." and "The project is located in a non-attainment area for ozone."

Hello Dang Thi,
thanks for answering I have one question for your answer. The fact that there is no standard in our area
Are you saying that ASHRAE Appendix E and EPA do not have regulations for Korea, so I can ignore them? Thank you so much,
