Building Systems Monitoring Accountability
Install and maintain a permanent monitoring
system that tracks the IEQ and energy
performance of the base building system and
allows operators to make adjustments to maintain
targets.
Provide air quality profile, prepared by a
licensed engineer or certified industrial
hygienist, for each apartment at time of initial
occupancy that meets the following
criteria lt 50 ppb of Formaldehyde
lt 200 um3 Total Volatile Organics
