Determine early on which of the two compliance paths is most feasible for your project. This will be determined by your project location. For projects that have the choice, Option 2 may be easier to document, although both options require developing a site plan and documenting the existing conditions of the surrounding area.

Option 1: Development Density is for project sites with a density of more than 60,000 square feet of built floor area per acre of land.

Costs will vary depending on the level of existing monitoring in your building, the number of naturally ventilated spaces, and the number of measurement devices that need to be installed. If you’re already using a BAS, costs will be limited to the parts and labor associated with installing the sensors. On the other hand, if a lot of new equipment is required, costs can be significant.
