What standard ensures adequate ventilation is supplied to building occupants?

ASHRAE 62.1 is a standard that ensures adequate ventilation is supplied to building occupants.

ASHRAE stands for the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, a

professional organization that develops standards and guidelines for the design, operation, and

maintenance of buildings. ASHRAE 62.1 is a standard that specifies the minimum ventilation rates

and other measures for new and existing buildings that are intended to provide acceptable indoor air

quality (IAQ) for the occupants. Ventilation is the process of supplying outdoor air to or removing

indoor air from a building. Adequate ventilation is important for maintaining good IAQ, which can

affect the health, comfort, and productivity of the occupants13. Reference: LEED v4 Green Associate
