5900-436 Indoor Environmental Quality Measurement Form for E

OMB Control No. 2060-0347

Appendix A: Indoor Environmental Quality Measurement form for ENERGY STAR
Building Verification Site Visit
Instructions: The LP (or his/her representative) must use this form to record measurements taken during the ENERGY
STAR building verification site visit. Forms should be kept on file for two years. Should an ENERGY STAR application be
selected for an audit, you will be required to submit this form as supporting documentation. Please attach additional
notes pages if necessary.

Outdoor Air Ventilation
The LP must verify that the property meets the minimum ventilation rates according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1,
Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality.
Select the method used (check all that apply)
For mechanically ventilated buildings, the LP must confirm minimum outdoor ventilation rates by any of the following;
direct airflow measurements per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Section 6.2, the Ventilation Rate Procedure, or
CO2 concentration measurements per ASHRAE 62.1 Appendix C, and ASTM D6245 Standard Guide for Using
Indoor CO2 Concentrations to Evaluate Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation, or
detailed airflow calculations derived from as-built equipment specifications, and physical inspection of system
operation and control
For naturally ventilated buildings, the LP must follow ASHRAE 62.1, Section 6.4, Natural Ventilation Procedure to
confirm the minimum outdoor air opening and space configuration requirements.
Dwelling units in multifamily housing shall use ASHRAE 62.2, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in
Residential Buildings. Hospitals and Senior Care Communities may use ASHRAE Standard 62.1, or ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE
Standard 170: Ventilation of Health Care Facilities - 2013.
For building occupancy types not covered by these standards, buildings with physical constraints that make it
infeasible to provide these minimum outdoor air rates, as well as spaces that are inaccessible to the LP (e.g. individual
apartments) the LP must use their professional judgement to confirm that outdoor air ventilation has not been
compromised in pursuit of energy conservation.
