Ventilation Rate Procedure
Particulate Matter
§ If national standard for PM10 exceeded
§ Particulate filters or air cleaning devices
§ MERV 6 or higher*
§ Rated per ASHRAE Standard 52.2-1999
Ozone
§ If second-highest daily maximum one hour
concentration exceeds 0.160 ppm
§ Requires air cleaning devices
§ Minimum removal efficiency of 40%
§ Operate when > 0.160 ppm forecast
§ When Air Quality Index forecast > 151
Outdoor Air Treatment
Ozone
§ Exception: if the minimum system design
outdoor intake flow results in 1.5 air
changes per hour or less
§ Exempts most office, retail space, but not
classrooms
