Intent 目的Expel internally generated pollutants and improve air quality in the breathing zone through an increased supply of outdoor air or increased ventilation efficiency.
This WELL feature requires implementation of advanced ventilation strategies that can achieve higher air quality levels and thus benefit human health and productivity.
Part 1 Increase Outdoor Air Supply
WELL Certification: 2 Pt | WELL Core: 3 Pt For All Spaces: Option 1: Increased air supply For mechanically ventilated projects, the following requirement is met in all occupiable spaces: a. Exceed outdoor air supply rates described in ASHRAE 62.1-2010 by the percentages shown in the table below: Thresholds Points 30% 1(2 ) 60% 2(3) OR Option 2: Demand control ventilation For mechanically ventilated projects, the following requirements are met in at least 90% of regularly occupied spaces: a. A demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) system regulates the outdoor air ventilation rate to keep CO2 levels less than the thresholds specified in the table below, at the maximum intended occupancy: Threshold Threshold Points 900 ppm OR 500 ppm above outdoor levels 1(2 ) 750 ppm OR 350 ppm above outdoor levels 2(3) b. Carbon dioxide is measured at the return air diffusers or in the breathing zone at least 3.3 ft(1 m) away from doors, windows, air supply diffusers or occupants. At least one sensor is used for each occupancy zone (or per air handling unit, if a single zone is served by multiple air handling units). If the occupancy density/pattern/usage is substantially different in two adjacent areas, each area must be considered a separate zone. OR Option 3: Enhanced natural ventilation For naturally ventilated projects, the following requirement is met: a. Implement an engineered natural ventilation system that is sufficient to keep CO2 levels in the breathing zone of all regularly occupied spaces below the specified thresholds at the maximum intended occupancies: Threshold Threshold Points 900 ppm OR 500 ppm above outdoor levels 1(2 ) 750 ppm OR 350 ppm above outdoor levels 2(3) Note: Mixed-mode projects must select the option corresponding to the ventilation mode (mechanical and natural ventilation) in operation for the majority of operating hours within the year. WELL Core Guidance: Meet these requirement in the whole building. If the project pursues Option 1 or Option 2, it must provide leased spaces with sufficient outdoor air and a compatible control system (as applicable) but is not required to install ducts and diffusers within leased spaces.
