These days many designers want to comply with both
Standard 62.1 and Standard 90.1. Requirements from both standards have
been incorporated into many building codes, and the minimum
requirements of both standards must be met as prerequisites to LEED
certification. In attempting to comply with the ventilation
requirements of Standard 62.1 AND the energy-limiting requirements of
Standard 90.1, some designers have concluded that it’s next to
impossible to do so using traditional VAV systems. While in some
specific cases these designers might be right, in most cases they are
not right. In this broadcast, the Chair of SSPC 62.1 (Dennis Stanke),
the Chair of SSPC 90.1 (Mick Schwedler), and the one of the authors of
the VAV-related sections in the User Manuals for both standards (Steve
Taylor), discuss the potentially conflicting requirements and design choices.
