Description:

Several studies have been completed addressing the costs and the cost-effectiveness of alternative indoor air quality (IAQ) control measures. A simplified methodology has been defined that can be used by IAQ diagnosticians, architects/engineers, building owners/operators, and the scientific community, for preliminary comparison of the cost-effectiveness of alternative IAQ control measures for any given commercial or institutional building. Such a preliminary analysis could aid the user in initial decision-making prior to retaining experts (such as HVAC engineers and building modelers) who could conduct a rigorous evaluation. This preliminary methodology consists of text, logic diagrams, and detailed worksheets (including reference tables) that are intended to aid the user and has been published in an EPA report entitled "A Preliminary Methodology for Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Indoor Air Quality Control Approaches" (EPA/600/R-99/053, June 1999).
