When Standard 62-73 (1)' was published, a comprehensive rnethod~ of
establ'ishing ventilation rates -was made available. That standard emphasized
ventilation air quantities in terms of volumetric air flow rates per person~
and introduced the concept of "acceptable outdoor air" for ventilation
purposes. It also specified the conditions under which the outdoor air
quality could be increased through application of air cleaning technology.
V entilation rates in Standard 62-73 were specified as minimum and
recornmend~ed values. The recommended values generally exceeded the
rnuninium values by factors of 1.5 to 2. ASPIR-AE Standard 9'0-75 (2) used
minirnum values for energy conservation purposes. This constraint and
new developments in air quality control dictated that Standard 62-73 be
revised.
The revilsed Standard includes a ventilation rate procedure which in-
directly controls indoor air quality and a new procedure to permit direct control
of the indoor air quality. The latter miethod may see increasing use in the
future, since it gives the engineer or designer more freedom to achieve
the objective of this Standard and to encourage innovative solutions.
The objective of this revised Standard is to provide safe, healthful, and'
comfortable indoor environments by using materials and methods that optimize
efficiency of energy utilization. Therefore, an interd'isciplinary committee
of n inee-rs, Fhksicians, chemists azld psychologis swas appointed to revise
Strundard 62-73.

SECTION 1. PUR'POSB'
C
To specify indoor air quality and minimum ventilation rates which Will
,.
be acceptable to human occupants a.nd' ~,Jill not impair health.
SECTION 2. SCOPE
This standard applies to all indoor or enclosed' spaces which people
rna~ occupy. It does not apply to spaces where other applicable standards
and, requirernents dictate larger amounts of ventilation air than this
standard. Release of heat and moisture in residential kitchens and
bathrooms, locker rooms, swimming pools, anal saunlas is included in
the scope of this standard.
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS (SEE FIGURE 1)
3. 1 ACCEPTABLE AIR QUALITY: ambient air in which there are
no knotivn contamirants at harmfuli concentratlio:ns and «rit'h which a substan-
tial majority (usually 80°ri0) of the people eapos ed do not express dis-
satisfactiofi.
3. 2 AIR CLEANER: a device used to remove airborne impurities such,
as dusts, gases, vapors, fumes, and smoke.
3. 3 AIR CONDITIONING: the process of treating air to meet the
requir
humid ements of a conditio
ity, cleanliness, and ned space by controlling, its temperature,
distributionl.

3. 4 AIR, AMB'IE'NT': the air surrounding an object. .C` IV
3. 5 AIR, EXHAUST: air removed from a space and not' reused therein.
3. 6 AIR, MAKEUP: outdoor air supplied to replace exhaust air and

3. 13 COti'TARILNIANT: an unwznt'ed airborne constituent that ma3-
reduce acceptability of the air.

3. 17 I'NFILTRATION': air Leakage imward through cracks and inter- W
cT
stices, and through ceilings, floors and' walls of a space or building. :,
3. 18' GAS: a state of matter in which substances exist in the form of non-
aggregated r_-lolecules, and which, within acceptable limits of accuracy,

sa''sfzes the ideal gas usu?I1v a hlg!1Iy suoerhea'eu '.'aDor.
3. 19 h' ATUR AL VE',,,TILATIO`:: the movement of air into and out of
a space through intentionally provided openings, such as windov.,s and' doors,
or through nonpowered ventilators or by infiltration.
3. 20 OCCUPIED ZONTE: the region within a space between pl'anes
3 and 72 inches above the floor and more than 2 feet from the tivallis or fixed
air conditioning equipment (see Standard~ 55-74) (3).
3. 21 PARTICU'LATE: a state of matter ini which similar or dissimilar

3.24 VENTILATION: the process of supplying and removing air by
natural or mechanicaL means to and from, any space. Such air may or
may' not be conditioned.
SECTION' 4. CLASSIFICATION'
This standard specifies alternate procedures to o5ta'in acceptable air
quality indoors:
1. By providing ventilation air of proper quality and quantity to the
space (see Section 6. 1), or
2. By achieving acceptable air quality within the space with respect
to identified contaminants (see Section 6. 2).

5. 1 Ventilating syst'em may- be rn~echanical or natural. When
mechanical ventilation is uIS-cd, provision for air fl!ow measuremernt should
be included. When nat ura1 ventilation and infiltration are used, the
ventilation rate shall be demonstrable.
5. 2' Ventilating systems shall be designed and installed' so thiat the
air distribution does not cause conditions which, conflict with Standard
55-74 (3).
5. 3 Makeup air inlet~s shall be located to avoid contamination of the
makeup air.
5. 4 Exhaust air outlets shall be located' so that exhaust air does not
create a nuisance or contaminate makeup air.
5. 5 Ventilating ducts and, plenums shall be constructed' entirely of
incombustible, nonporous materials (UL Standard 181) (4')1. Their construction
shall comply with NFPA standards 90a and 90B (5), and the S.M_AC\A duct
construction stand'ards (6)1.
5. 6 Contaminants from sources within, the space shouI'd'be collected
as close as practicable to the source and removed.
5. 7 Combustion heating equipment located in the conditioned space shall
be provided wit~h sufficient air for combustion, and proper venting of fliue
gases. When infiltration supplies all or part of the combustion air, the supply
rate of combustion air must be demonstrable (see Appendix B). Proper
operation of clothes dryers and exhaust fans will require introduction of make-
up air in tight structures.
03`73 5.~ ~,-, 6
5.8 Where it is necessary to remove part,iculate contaminants, air
filters a-nd dust collectors should be used. Air filters should be used for
particulate removal1 when the dust' loading is less than 10 mg/m3 (4 grains/
1000 ft3). Dust collectors should be used where the dust loading
~

e:qLat_ or elceed_ 10 r»C /ri~` ( lrai~is/7OQ1: ft"). Air fil!ters snall be
selected for the particle size and 1'oading encountered'. Filters shall b,
tested in accordance wilth ASHIi:'1E Standard 52- 76 (7) or MIL STD 282' (CF). Dust
collectors may be Nti'.et, dry or electrostatic as required by particle size
and loading (see Table 1, Chapter 11i, ASHRAE Handbook, Eouipment Vo!urr.e ,
1979, (9).
Where it is necessary to control gaseous contaminants, methods based'
on sorption with or without oxidation should be used. Such methods are usually
specifi~c to the type of the contaminant. Acommonly used absorbant is
activated charcoal.
Many odorous contaminants are readily oxidizable to less odorous
substances, and can be controlled by passing the air through layers of
pelletized oxidants such as alumina impregnated with potassium per-mLnga.^.ate.
I;n the absence of an accepted, stand'ard' of performance for control of gaseous
contaminants, the designer shall demonstrate the efficacy of his design.
SECTION 6. 0 PROCEDURE
Indoor air should not contain contaminants that exceed concentrations
kno%~7ni to im hea].th or cauls_e discoinfort to occupants. Such: contaminan:sinclude variouls
gases, vapors, micro-organisms, smohe, and other
-iparticulate matter. These may be present in m akeup air or be introduced
from indoor activities, furnishings, building materials, surface coatings,
arrd~ air handling and air treatment components. Deleterious factors
include toxicity, radioactivity, potential to induce infection, or allergies, ~
irritants, extreme thermal conditions and objectionabl'e odors. w
G~t
The Ventilation Rate Procedure (Section 6. 1) provides one way to L`
"
achieve generally acceptable air quality. This procedure prescribes the Q
rate at which ventilation air must-be delivered to a space and various me=s
to condition that air. The ventilation rates in Table 3 are derived from
physiological considerations, subjective evaluations and professional judgr:ients.
