Challenges in developing ventilation and indoor air quality standards: The story of ASHRAE Standard 62
Open accessAbstract
Building ventilation has long been recognized for its role in occupant health, comfort and productivity, with some of the first recommendations on building ventilation rates published in the 19 th century. These recommendations were subsequently transformed into more rigorous standards and guidance in the 20 th century, with the first version of ASHRAE Standard 62 published in 1973. Since that time, ventilation standards have been issued in several countries around the world and have dealt with an increasingly complex and challenging range of issues as research on indoor air quality and the state of knowledge of building performance have progressed. This paper reviews and discusses some of the issues that have been addressed in the development of ventilation standards in recent years using the development of ASHRAE Standard 62 as context, including: the scientific bases for ventilation requirements, perceived indoor air quality, contaminant sources from occupants and the building, outdoor air quality, airborne contaminant limits, indoor carbon dioxide concentrations, environmental tobacco smoke, and performance-based design. Issues that are expected to be dealt with as Standard 62 and other standards are developed into the future are also reviewed.

Basic ventilation standards for indoor spaces such as schools and kindergartens are designed to dilute bio-effluents and achieve basic levels of acceptable indoor air quality rather than to control infection.
“Following the basic ventilation standards for indoor spaces such as schools and kindergartens, we noticed that they are designed to dilute bio-effluents and achieve basic levels of acceptable indoor air quality rather than to control infection [4].”
From Bacteria Filtration Efficiency for Different Types of Protective Face Masks (2023) · cites this paper as [4]
The Introduction says ventilation standards use outdoor air to dilute indoor contaminants and provide acceptable indoor air quality. The Ventilation Rate Requirements section discusses classroom rates and body-odor control, but also says standards address sources beyond bioeffluents. Our copy does not establish the claimed contrast with infection control or specifically discuss kindergartens. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
