INFORMATIVE APPENDIX I DOCUMENTATION
This appendix summarizes the requirements for documentation contained in the body of the standard using a series of templates that summarize the design criteria used and assumptions made to comply with this standard. One way to comply with the documentation requirements of the standard is to complete these templates as appropriate during the project design process.
I1. OUTDOOR AIR QUALITY
Section 4.3 of this standard requires an investigation of the outdoor air quality in the vicinity of the project site. This template offers a means of documenting the results of both the regional and local investigations and the conclusions reached concerning the acceptability of the outdoor air quality for indoor ventilation.
I2. BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN CRITERIA
This template provides a means of documenting significant design criteria for the overall building. Only the last column, in accordance with Section 5.10.3, is specifically required by the standard. Use of the other columns is motivated by the general documentation requirement described in Section 6.6.
I3. VENTILATION RATE PROCEDURE
Section 6.2 permits the use of this prescription-based procedure to design ventilation systems. This template documents the assumptions made when using this procedure as required by Sections 5.13.4 and 6.6.
I4. INDOOR AIR QUALITY PROCEDURE
Section 6.3 permits the use of this performance-based procedure to design ventilation systems. This template documents the design criteria and assumptions made when using this procedure and justification of the design approach, as required by Section 6.3.2.
