ASHRAE 62 (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers)

ASHRAE 62 is a standard developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers that outlines how to ensure acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. It provides guidelines on ventilation, which is the process of bringing in fresh air and removing stale air. The standard includes recommendations for airflow rates and strategies to minimize contaminants, ensuring a healthy environment for occupants. By following ASHRAE 62, building designers and operators can create spaces that promote comfort, health, and productivity for all users.
