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
| Bake-Out: |
A process through heating by which volatile organic compounds are released from their bond to a material and is vapourised in air, resulting in the release, curing and oxidization of some chemical VOC's. Education Note: When appropriate, the bake-out process must be carefully used and monitored since the results can prove to cause more harm than another form of building cure. See Flush-Out. |
| Flush-Out: |
In indoor environmental quality, flush-out is the process by which indoor air is exchanged repeatedly and over time with fresh outdoor air. Education Note: Depending on the purpose and design, flush-out may include purging the HVAC system and providing maximum outdoor air intake continuously for several days. Flush-out sometimes is necessary when new furniture, carpet, paint and other adhesive related products are brought into a building having a tight indoor air configuration. See Bake-Out. |
