This paper summarizes baseline results from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) school demonstration studies. Indoor pollutants of concern were formaldehyde, sum of targeted volatile organic compounds o:VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), and bioaerosols (bacteria, fungi, and thermophiles). The five schools presented here had no significant indoor air quality problems. Locations of these schools were distributed throughout various climate zones in the United States.
The first of six booklets designed as a guide for energy management in hospitals. It provides an introduction to the booklets and the management perspective. It is designed to help institutions to identify the requirements, fund structures which support the initiatives, carry out certain procedures and ensure that the comfort of the facility is maintained, as well as the proper service, and energy with its associated cost is minimised.
