Procedures tobe used, accepiable indoor concentrations and ‘exposures are needed forthe particular contaminants. When using this procedure, these concentration and exposure values ‘eed to be documented and justified by reference toa cogni- ‘ant authority as defined inthe standard. Such guidelines or coer limiting values ean also be useful for diagnostic ‘purposes. Atpresent, no single organization develops accept- {ble concentrations or exposures forall indoor air contami- ‘sant, nor are values available for all contaminants of ‘petmntial concem.

The table is presented as further hackeround wen using the 1AQ Proce- ‘dure, Consultation shouldbe sought before selecting partic~ ‘lar value for use in calculating ventilation using tte TQ Procedure, Meeting oe, some, oral ofthe listed values does not ensure that acceptable {AQ will be achieved. Selection ofa specifi target concentration and exposure is best made by a team with wide experience in toxicology, industrial hygiene, and expasure assessment. As they review the specitie concentrations listed in Tables B-1 and B-2, or ‘others taken from ater sources, designers shouldbe mindful of the following: + Standards and guidelines are developed for different ‘purposes and should be interpreted with reference to the seting and purpose for which they were developed com- pared to that to which they are being applied, Not all standards and guideline values recognize the presence of suscepible groups or address typical popu- lations found in occupancies listed in this standard Most standards and guidelines do not consider inter~ actions between and among various contaminants of ‘The assumptions and conditions set forth by the stan- dard or guideline may aot be met in the space a For the ‘eeupants being considered (such as S-hour day, 40- hour work week) |When many chemicals are present in the ait, ss they limost always aren indoor ar, then some way of addressing Potential interaction of these chemicals is warranted. For add tiveeffeets and exceptions, the readrisreferredto ACGIH for guidance onthe subject." Guideline Values for Industrial Environments ACGIH threshold limit values, or TLVS®, have been applied to industrial workplace air contaminants?" (Refer- ‘ence B-2 is the German counterpart.) The ACGIH TLYs® Sepresent maximum acceptable S-hour, time-weighted aver- ‘age (TWA), 15-minute short-term exposure limit (STEL) and ‘instantaneous (ceiling) ease limits tsa souree of eoneentra- tioa limits for many chemical substances and physical agents for industrial use. In light ofthe constantly changing state of knowledge, the document is updated annually It eations theI practice of industrial hygiene as guidelines or recommenda. tions to assist in the congo of poten health hazards and for no ater use.” Caution must be used in directly extending the ACGIH ‘TLVs® or other workplace guidelines to spaces covered by this standard and to population groups other than workers. Industrial health practice attemptsto limit worker exposure to {jurious substances at levels that do not interfere with the ‘industrial work process and do not risk the workers’ ealth and safety. There isnot an intention to eliminate all effects. such as unpleasant smells or mild ivitation, Further, the health eiteria are not uniformly derived forall contaminants lritation, narcosis, and nuisance or other forms ofsress are ‘nol uniformly considered asthe basis forthe concentration limits. This is because different organizations use different endpoints and different contaminants have more orlssinfor- ‘mation available on diverse end points of interest. The target population is also different from the occupants found inthe spaces covered by this standard. Healthy industrial workers tend to change jobs or occupations if an exposure becomes imolerabe, In contrast, workers in commercial environments such as offices often do not expect elevated concentrations of potentislly harmful substances in their work environments ‘Also, monitoring programs are unlikely to bein place, as may be the case with industrial workplaces. In addition, the general population may have less choice about where they spend most oftheir time and includes those who may be more sensitive, such as childzen, asthmatics, allergic individuals, the sick, and the elderly Guidelines for Substances in Outdoor Air Guidelines have been developed for outdoor sir for a number of chemicals and metals, es shown in many of the references. These values, including some for metals, may be appropriate for some indoor environments, but they should be applied only after appropriate consultation. These guidelines also provide guidance concerning the quality of outside air if thee is suspicion that outdoor air may be contaminated with specific substances or if there is a known source of contami nation nearby. Regulation of Occupational Exposure to Airborne Contaminants Regulations of occupational exposure 10 workplace hazards are based on the results of accumulated experience With worker bealth and toxicological research and carefully ‘evaluated by groups of experts. Effects are examined in rela- tion to exposure to the injurious substance. Exposure is defined as the mathematical product ofthe concentration of the contaminant and the time during which person is exposed to this concentration. Since concentration may vary with ime, ‘exposure is typically calelated across the sppropriateaver- aging tim, expressed asa TWA concentration, STEL, or eel- ing limit. Regulations of the U.S. Occupational Safety and “Health Administration (OSHA) are TWAS in mast cases. Industrial exposures are regulatedon the basis of 2 40-hour workweek with 8-10 10-hour days. Dufing the remainder ofthe 8 time, exposure is anticipated to be substantially lower forthe contaminants of concer. Application of industrial exposure limits would not necessarily be appropriate for other indoor settings, oceupancies, and exposure stenarios. However, for certain contaminants that lack exposure limits for a specific ronindustria ager population, substantial downvard adjst- rents to cccupatinal limits have sometimes been use Substances Lacking Guidelines and Standards For indoor contaminants for which an acceptable concen ration nd exposure valuchas not been established by &cogni- ‘ant authority, one approach has been to assume that some fraction of TLV® is applicable and would not lead to adverse health effets or complaints in general populations. This approach should not be used witout frst assessing its suit bility forthe contaminant of concer. In any event, if appro priate standards or guidelines do not exist, expertise must be Sought or research needs to be conducted wo determine contaminant concentrations and exposures that are acceptable. “Subjective Evaluation Indoor air often contains complex mixtures of contami nants feoncem suchas environmental tobacco smoke," ?42-31 infections and allergenic biological aerosols,” and emissions of chemicals fom commercial and consumer products.

Forthe most part, ANSWASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 is specifically written for new buildings because some ofits requirements assume that other requirements within te sat- dard have been met. Inthe case of existing buildings, retroac- tive application and compliance with all the requirements of this standard may not be practical. However, the principles established in thie standard may be applied to most existing ‘commercial and institutional buildings. Some existing build= ings may achieve accepiable TAQ despite not mecting the requirements of Standard 621-2007 due to, or example, good ‘maintenance and capital improvement procedures, building ‘materials that, by virtue oftheir age, have very low contami ‘nant emission rates, and many other factors. G1. APPLICATION GLI_ New Buildings. All sections and normative appendi- ces should apply to new buildings falling within the scope of, this standard.G12 Existing Buildings. The standard should be applied to existing buildings atleast in the following cireumstances: Additions to Existing Buildings. All additions to exist {ng buildings should meet the requirements of this stan dard as if the addition were a new building. An exception may be made when an, existing ventilation system is extended to serve the adltion.Inthis case the ‘existing system components, such as fans and cooling and eating equipment, need not meet the requirements ofthis standard. However, the extended existing system should remain in compliance wit ventilation codes and standards tbat were in effect atthe time it was permited for construction, 2. Repairs. Repaiting (making operational) existing equip- ‘mentor other building components does not requir the building or any ofits components to retroactively comply with his standard, 3. Replacement Any component oe bildng thats removed and replaced should met the applicable requirement of Section 5, Systems and Equipment ofthis standard fr that ‘component. An exception may be made in eases when replacing a component of like size and kind, provide all requiremenss of codes and standards used atthe time of ign system design and instalation te met. For exam- ple, replacement of an scondioning wnt with one of similar capacity would not require retroactive compliance with venilaon races and oterreuzements of his san- dard Unatered components do not need tobe reronctvely brought imo compliance except when thee are substantia sleraons (as defined below) 4. Sudstansal Alterations: IF & building is substantially altered the requirements of tis standavd shouldbe met 38 ifthe building were new. A building would be considered substantially altered ithe costo the revisions exceeds 50% ofthe building's fair market value, excluding the cost of compliance with this standard. 5, Change in Use Ifthe space application category as istedin ‘Table 6-1 changes suchas frm office to real, the mini ‘mum ventilation rates required by Section 6, "Procedures should be met fr that space G2.
