Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Air Filters for HVAC Supply Systems: |
Air filters are particulate filters which are used for protection of HVAC components and the reduction of airborne dust, pollens, and microorganisms from recirculated and from outdoor air streams. Education Note: ASHRAE Standard 63-1989R requires filters having a minimum of 25-30% dust spot efficiency (ASHRAE Standard 52.1) or >60% efficiency (ASHRAE Standard 52.2 for 3 micron particle). Where system design can accomodate them, filters having >65% efficiency for 1 to 3 micron size particles will improve the IAQ/IEQ with respect to respirable particles. |
| Air Stripping: |
Mechanical and engineering methods used to remove harmful contaminates, gases and toxins from indoor air. Mitigation Note: Air stripping may include fresh air forced negative air exhausting, 100% air exhaust with 100% new air makeup, HEPA extraction and/or carbon filtration of pollutants that may pose health issues to humans if the ambients remain for prolonged periods or contaminates exceed acceptable and permissable exposure levels. See Administrative Controls, Air Cleaner, Air Scrubber, Carbon Filtration. |
