| Green Building Programs throughout the United States encourage a whole-systems approach through design and building techniques to minimize environmental impact, and reduce the energy consumption of buildings while contributing to the health of its occupants. The health of the occupants in these programs drives the need for adequate ventilation. Green building programs almost universally have adopted the ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation standard. |
| |
The ASHRAE 62.2 standard was developed in response to concerns of increasing levels of indoor contaminants and mold growth in residential buildings. Years of studies and input by building science experts and health professionals indicated a need for mechanical ventilation in homes to protect the health of occupants and the value of the building. The two main requirements of ASHRAE 62.2 are (1) whole-building ventilation to maintain acceptable air quality, and (2) local exhaust fans in each kitchen and bathroom to reduce the levels of contaminants and moisture in these spaces. BROAN offers a wide variety of ventilation solutions for any home, climate and budget. BROAN is your partner in building green homes to improve the health of your family and our environment.
