International. ASHRAE confirmed the release of the updated version of Standard 62.2. Included in this newly updated user manual is a guide explaining the "why" and "how" behind the requirements of ASHRAE's residential indoor air quality standard.
This supplemental guide provides detailed information on the requirements of Standard 62.2-2016 and includes tables, illustrations, and examples to help users provide acceptable indoor air quality in residential systems. The provisions of Standard 62.2 address mechanical and natural ventilation, as well as air leaks in these buildings, and this user manual provides concrete examples on how to apply the criteria set out by the standard.
ASHRAE explains that the Standard 62.2 User Manual does not reproduce the requirements of the standard, but rather paraphrases and elaborates on it. Designed to be used in conjunction with the standard, this manual provides:
- Information on the intent and application of Standard 62.2
