Designing Homes for Optimal IEQ
Sponsored by:
What We Breathe, What We Feel
For homeowners, high-performance is mainly meaningful if it results in a home that is healthier and more comfortable than a code-level home. Typical occupants won’t review R-values and CFM requirements, but they demand thermal comfort and high indoor air quality (IAQ). This White Paper discusses considerations, strategies and solutions to help builders design HVAC systems for optimal occupant health and comfort. The subject matter includes building envelope factors, mean radiant temperature, contaminant control, humidification, dehumidification, controls and trends.
In this White Paper you’ll learn how to:
- Educate builders, designers and consumers on the value of IEQ
- Consider methods for reducing indoor contaminants through source control, ventilation and filtration
- Consider methods for controlling relative humidity for comfort and health
- Design HVAC systems with a comprehensive view of thermal comfort inclusive of variables such as humidity, air stratification and mean radiant temperature in addition to dry-bulb temperature
