Abstract:
ASHRAE Standard 62.2P, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, begins a third public review on April 5, 2002. The 45-day review will end May 20, 2002.

The draft is open as an independent substantive change, meaning only limited portions of the draft are open for public comment at this time.

"We made significant progress in the second review and have only a few changes to propose in this third review," Max Sherman, chair of SSPC 62.2P, said. "We anticipate continued progress toward a quality standard on residential ventilation."

One change was removal of a requirement that bathroom fans meet sound ratings. Kitchen fans still must meet noise limitations, he said.

In addition, Appendix C, which was an informative annex on pollution sources, exposures and control, was removed. After hearing concerns that the details in the appendix contained out-of-date, incomplete or inappropriate sources, the committee decided to delete the appendix.

"As a result of some comments, we realize that there are areas that should be addressed in the standard, but for which there was insufficient information available to do anything right away," Sherman said. "In these areas, the committee will work toward developing addenda and will invite appropriate commentors to assist."

Comments received during the review will be considered by ASHRAE in developing the final standard.

Drafts of ASHRAE's proposed standards are available only during their public review periods. To obtain an electronic draft version of ASHRAE 62.2P during the comment period, log on to ASHRAE Online at http://www.ashrae.org/STANDARDS/availdft.htm.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of 55,000 persons. Its sole objective is to advance through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve the evolving needs of the public.
