The current ASHRAE Standard 62-1989, in addition to the ventilation rate (VR) procedure, now contains an alternative procedure in Appendix E to achieve acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ). In this article, the author develops a dynamic model for each of the seven most commonly used HVAC systems listed in Appendix E of ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 and demonstrates how these dynamic models work by providing an illustrative example. In this example, the author estimates the concentration of formaldehyde as a function of time in an office occupancy for three types of filters and outlines how to choose filters to decrease outside air flow requirements.
