What does ASHRAE standard 62.1/62.2 specify?

ASHRAE Standard 62.1/62.2 pertains specifically to ventilation rate requirements in indoor environments, primarily addressing the needs of commercial and residential buildings, respectively. This standard establishes minimum ventilation rates and other measures intended to provide acceptable indoor air quality while minimizing energy consumption.

By specifying these requirements, the standard helps ensure that buildings are adequately ventilated to dilute indoor air pollutants, support occupant health, and enhance overall comfort. This is crucial for maintaining air quality in various types of facilities, from offices to schools, to ensure a safe and healthy environment for occupants.

The other options pertain to different areas: measuring air quality and treating water contaminants are separate aspects not directly covered by this specific ASHRAE standard, and waste disposal guidelines fall outside the focus of ventilation and indoor air quality management addressed in 62.1/62.2.
