Title
Standard Guide for Specifying and Evaluating Performance of Single Family Attached and Detached DwellingsIndoor Air Quality
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2004
Scope:
This guide contains suggested performance statements for single family
residential buildings
(attached and detached) that address indoor air quality performance
including indoor air pollution
and thermal comfort. These performance statements are not presented as
proposed requirements, but
are written in permissive language as suggestions that can be used in
developing specifications to
satisfy user needs.
This standard guide does not address other aspects of the indoor
environment such as lighting and
acoustics.
Performance statements addressing building ventilation and ventilation
rates are also included in
the standard, since it is premature to base performance only on indoor
air pollution, that is,
airborne contaminant concentrations. When health authorities have
established contaminant
concentration limits for residential environments, it may be possible
to define indoor air quality
performance in terms of contaminant concentrations rather than
ventilation.
This standard guide is one in a series of guides containing
performance statements for residential
buildings that are intended for use in the procurement, specification
and evaluation of one- and
two-family dwellings. These companion standard guides include those
noted in the Introduction
above.
This standard guide also addresses a number of residential indoor air
quality issues that can not
be expressed as performance statements at this time. However, they are
important enough to include
in this guide to at least raise the awareness of those involved in the
process of procurement,
specification and evaluation. These issues are addressed in 8.3.
This standard guide does not include site planning objectives.
However, certain issues addressing
the relationship of building to site have been covered, and it is
important that these few
objectives not be construed as a comprehensive site specification.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
requirements prior to use.
