Abstract |
It is typically easier and much less expensive to design and construct a new building with radon-resistant and/or easy-to-mitigate features, than to add these features after the building is completed and occupied. Therefore, when building in an area with the potential for elevated radon levels, architects and engineers should use a combination of radon prevention construction techniques. To determine if your building site is located in a radon-prone area, consult your EPA Regional Office or state or local radiation office. The authors recommend the following three radon prevention techniques for construction of schools and other large buildings in radon-prone areas: (1) install an active soil depressurization (ASD) system, (2) pressurize the building using the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, and (3) seal major radon entry routes. Specific guidelines on how to incorporate these radon prevention features in the design and construction of schools and other large buildings are detailed in this manual. |
