Building Codes and Indoor Air Quality
Building Codes and Indoor Air Quality Prepared by David H. Mudarri The Cadmus Group Arlington, VA. September, 2010. Prepared for: Environmental Protection Agency Office of Radiation and Indoor Air Indoor Environments Division Note: This report presents the findings, recommendations and views of its author and not necessarily those of the Environmental Protection Agency. 1. Forward The following is the charge provided as the basis for this paper Background: Some states have already updated their Building Codes to foster improved energy efficiency of residences and other buildings and there is increasing pressure for others to do so. Conservation-minded Building Codes have the potential to reduce naturally occurring air exchange for buildings by tightening the envelope and reducing pressurization of unconditioned spaces ( duct sealing).
reviewed its residential building energy code regarding energy efficiency and has made a decision as to ... improving the thermal performance of the building envelope and reducing air change rates to minimize the energy used to condition the indoor air. This latter function-- reducing air change rates—puts energy conservation in
