OSTI ID:6514850
The R-2000 Home Program technical criteria require the installation of a controlled mechanical ventilation system. The purpose of this system is to ensure adequate air quality and to minimize the potential for excessive negative pressure within the building envelope relative to the exterior. Field testing was conducted to determine compliance with the technical criteria and to document the indoor air quality characteristics of R-2000 homes. Ventilation system monitoring procedures consisted of measuring the installed ventilation system airflow rates in the homes. Indoor air quality monitoring consisted of measuring formaldehyde, radon, and nitrogen dioxide in the homes.
