Summary 1st draft

An excerpt from Guidelines for Good Indoor Air Quality in Office Premises (1996) states the needs in a building. In terms of design, ventilation requirements with regards to pollution. ACMV system should be design to prevent the spread of contaminants. Building materials should not produce any chemicals that will affect the IAQ.Drainage system should be constructed which will reduce the risk of leakage.The outdoor air intakes should not be surrounded by sources of air pollution.The accessibility and cleanliness should be taken into consideration when designing the building. In terms of construction, inspections by professional should be done constantly to ensure acceptable IAQ .Building should be constructed such that contaminants would not enter. Air ducts should be accessible for inspection and cleaning. Materials for components should be able to withstand daily usage and maintenance. The ideal inner surfaces of the air ducts should be frictionless to reduce dust. Filters need to be protected from the outdoor elements to provide filtration of outdoor air. Systems unrelated to ACMV excluded from AHU rooms.
