HVAC Systems and Indoor Air Quality 139 ■ establishment of a uniform reporting method for performance ■ methods for evaluating resistance to airflow and dust-holding capacity No comparable guidelines or standards are currently available for use in assessing the ability of air cleaners to remove gas- eous pollutants or radon and its progeny. Guideline 1-1989, "Guideline for the Commissioning of HVAC Systems" This guideline is intended to assist profes- sionals by providing procedures and meth- ods for documenting and verifying the performance of HVAC systems so that they operate in conformity with the design intent. The guideline presents a format for documenting the occupancy requirements, design assumptions, and the design intent for the HVAC system. It provides a for- mat for testing the system for acceptance by the owner. In addition, the guideline addresses adjustments of the system to meet actual occupancy needs within the capacity of the system when changes in building use are made and recommissioning is warranted. Important features of this guideline include: ■ definition of the commissioning process ■ discussion of the process involved in a proper commissioning procedure ■ sample specification and forms for log- ging information ■ recommendation for the implementation of corrective measures as warranted ■ guideline for operator training ■ guidelines for periodic maintenance and recommissioning as needed
