In the LEED

Intent:

1. provide capacity for ventilation system monitoring to sustain occupant comfort and well-being.

Implementation:

1. Install Permanent monitoring systems that provide feedback on ventilation system performance
   • systems to generate ALARM when conditions vary by 10% set point
   • Mechanically vented spaces:
     • Densely Monitored Space: > 25 people/1000SF
       • monitor CO2 levels
     • for non-densely occupied spaces
       • provide direct outdoor airflow measure device.
       • detect when system is 15% below design rate
   • Naturally Ventilated Space:
     • Monitor CO2
       • Monitor location to be 3′ to 6′ above floor finish
   • CO2 and airflow measures by:
     • pilot tubes, venturi meters, rotating vane anemometers
     • feed into HVAC and BAS systems

Code:

• none

Submittal Phase:

• design
