The Project CommitteeChair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or ma
11、y not be ASHRAE members, all must be technicallyqualified in the subject area of the Guideline.Development of ASHRAE Guidelines follows procedures similar to those for ASHRAE Standards except that (a) committee balance is desiredbut not required, (b) an effort is made to achieve consensus but consen

22、gs, the first stand-alone ventilation and indoor airquality (IAQ) standard specifically written for low-rise resi-dential buildings. Although Standard 62.2 provides far moredetailed residential ventilation requirements than were con-tained in the previous versions of Standard 62, the 62.2 proj-ect c
23、ommittee felt that the new standard by itself did notadequately address the need to provide information onachieving better IAQ in low-rise residential buildings. In writ-ing Guideline 24, the committee was able to address IAQ andventilation issues where consensus could not be achieved inStandard 62.
24、2 and to provide explanatory and educationalmaterial that would be inappropriate in a document intendedfor code adoption.While the title of Guideline 24Ventilation and Accept-able Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildingsis nearly identical to that of Standard 62.2, this guidelinespurpose
25、 and scope contain many significant differences withStandard 62.2. The purpose of the standard is limited to defin-ing the roles of and minimum requirements for mechanicaland natural ventilation systems and the building envelopeintended to provide acceptable IAQ in low-rise residentialbuildings. Whi
26、le these roles and requirements are written withthe intent of providing acceptable IAQ in low-rise residentialbuildings, the much broader purpose of this guideline is toprovide information on achieving better IAQ in all types ofdwelling units.The scope of this guideline is also broader than that ofS
27、tandard 62.2. Both scopes specify that the documents applyto residential buildings three stories or fewer in height abovegrade, including manufactured and modular houses. How-ever, Standard 62.2s scope specifically excludes unventedcombustion space heaters and provides a list of reasons thatmay prev
28、ent acceptable IAQ from being achieved, despitemeeting all of the minimum requirements. Given its broaderscope addressing topics not included in the standard, Guide-line 24 goes beyond Standard 62.2s baseline objective ofacceptable IAQ in providing information aimed at helping toachieve better IAQ.T
29、hus, in addition to providing informative backgroundmaterial on residential IAQ, this guideline addresses impor-tant residential IAQ issues that were not addressed in Stan-dard 62.2 due to a lack of consensus or other reasons. Someof these issues were addressed in prepublication draft ver-sions of S
30、tandard 62.2 and include carbon monoxide (CO)alarms, air distribution, better air filtration, and unventedcombustion appliances. This guideline also provides usefulinformation on topics such as verification of ventilationequipment performance and operations and maintenance,which, though important, a
31、re not easily addressed in a stan-dard intended for code adoption.1. PURPOSE1.1 This guideline provides information on achieving indoorair quality (IAQ) that may go beyond minimum requirements,i.e., better IAQ.1.2 This guideline provides information relevant to ventilationand IAQ with regard to enve
32、lope and system design, materialselection, commissioning and installation, and operation andmaintenance.2. SCOPEThis guideline primarily applies to ventilation and IAQ forhuman occupancy in residential buildings three stories orfewer in height above grade, including manufactured andmodular houses.3.
