97 Energy Savings Plus Health | INDOOR AIR QUALITY GUIDELINES FOR MULTIFAMILY BUILDING UPGRADES 21.0 Local Exhaust Ventilation Assessment Protocol and Action Verification Complete N/A NOTES AP 21.1 Identified rooms or areas with localized contaminant sources that require exhaust ventilation. AP 21.2 Determined whether dwelling units have local exhaust ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms, and whether there is compliance with the requirements for kitchens and bathrooms in ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2013. AP 21.3 Determined whether clothes dryers exhaust directly to the outdoors. Inspected clothes dryer vents for restrictions and lint buildup. AP 21.4 Determined whether spaces outside dwelling units comply with exhaust requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, Table 6.5, as applicable. To the extent possible, included retail and other nonresidential spaces in the building. MA 21.1 Installed, repaired or replaced local exhaust ventilation in dwelling units to meet the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2013 for kitchen and bathroom exhausts. Advised building management and occupants about the need to use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms during activities that generate pollutants and moisture (e.g., cooking and showering). MA 21.2 Ensured that all clothes dryers exhaust directly to the outdoors and cannot be readily diverted indoors by occupants. MA 21.3 Installed, repaired or replaced exhaust ventilation in spaces outside dwelling units to meet the minimum exhaust rates specified in ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, Table 6.5. To the extent possible, worked with the building owner, property manager and other building tenants to include retail and other nonresidential spaces. MA 21.4 Followed the Minimum Actions under Priority Issue 16.0 Compartmentalization to enhance the effectiveness of exhaust ventilation and reduce odor migration and unwanted airflow from adjacent spaces. EA 21.1 Ensured kitchen and bath exhausts in dwelling units meet requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2013, without the need to use the Standard's alternative compliance path. EA 21.2 Used one or more strategies in bathrooms to control the use of local exhaust fans (e.g., an occupancy/ motion sensor, an automatic humidistat controller, an automatic timer to operate the fan for 20 minutes or more after an occupant leaves the room, or a continuously operating exhaust fan). EA 21.3 Installed additional local exhaust ventilation in spaces outside dwelling units with strong, localized pollutant sources. EA 21.4 Followed the Expanded Actions under Priority Issue 16.0 Compartmentalization to enhance the effectiveness of exhaust ventilation and reduce odor migration and unwanted airflow from adjacent spaces.
