Developing an IAQ Profile 29 Underventilation problems can occur even in areas where ventilation rates apparently meet ASHRAE guidelines; proper distribution and mixing of supply air with room air are also essential for good ventilation. If the information collected as you develop the IAQ profile indicates that you have one or more IAQ problems, Sections 6-8 provide guidance to help you deal with them. If you need to prioritize these prob- lems, consider the apparent seriousness of their consequences. For example, combus- tion gas odors demand a more rapid respons than thermostats that are out of calibration. This form is to be used differently depending on whether the goal is to prevent or diagnose IAQ problems. During development of a profile, this form should be used to record more general information about the entire building; during an investigation, the form should be used to record more detailed information about the complaint area and areas surrounding the complaint area or connected to it by pathways.
