- Offers information on the intent and application of Standard 62.1;
- Explains the standard through the use of sample calculations and examples;
- Encourages the user to apply the principles of good indoor air quality and effective ventilation when designing buildings and building systems;
- Provides useful reference material to assist designers in efficiently completing a successful and compliant design;
