The tai et level concept was introduced and developed by the Association of Finnish Manufacturers of Air Handling Equipment (AFMAHE) in 1985. - Indoor climate target levels have been utilized in the ventilation of public buildings, apartments, and offices for years.The Finnish Institute of Occupational Health began to develop the concept for industrial ventilation in 1991.Tf The target level procedure for industrial air quality is described in more detail in Section 6.4.

Therefore, if the desired indoor air quality goals are clearly defined, they will benefit the designers, health and safety professionals, manufacturers of control technology equipment, end users, and other experts who are responsible for maintaining a safe and healthy indoor climate. In conclusion, introduction of the target level process for industrial air quality will benefit both the health sector and the production sector. 

Once the information on the industrial processes and space requirements, the indoor climate requirements for workers, machinery, and products, and a lot for the factory have been obtained, then the architectural design of the industrial enclosure can be accomplished, A complete factory or industrial building may consist of several enclosures where industrial processes are run. One heating and ventilation plant may service several enclosures, or there may be a separate system for each enclosure. 

Application of contaminant removal effectiveness indices is relatively simple for scenarios with one or a few dominant contaminants being released. That is often the case in industrial mails. Where there are many polluting substances to consider the contaminant removal efficiency should ideally be evaluated for each one. Consequently, applications for regular indoor climate— for example, in a restaurant—are limited, except when addressing specific pollutants like smoking and ctxrking hunes. 

IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (ICE) is a new generation of building performance simulation tools. The mathematical models are described in terms of equations in a formal language, NMF. Whenever appropriate, models recommended by ASHRAE have been used. Advanced database features support model reuse.

Standardized Emission Testing This is probably the most frequent application of test chambers and cells, because indoor related materials and products need to be evaluated for the release of volatile chemicals in order to ensure a healthy indoor climate. Many procedures have been established for different types of products. A very well-known scheme was developed by the German Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) for the evaluation of building...

Hypothetical or potenhal causalities include postulated causalities which have not yet been proven to be related to IAQ. An example is multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). Often effects or exposures cannot be quantified, not even by indicators. Toxicological evaluations can only deal with effects and exposures which are quantifiable. Therefore, these undocumented causalities must be defined as hypothetical or potential causalities. Even if some of these effects may be considered adverse or have high prevalence, the present level of knowledge prohibits an official rational preventive action and no official guidelines or recommendations can be established. It should be noted that all new types of IAQ problems start as hypothetical. This group includes many health effects which are potentially important to human health and thus defines the research forefront in IAQ sciences. Table 14.2 shows some examples. Several potential or hypothetical causalities are discussed in the scientific literature. Their relevance to health indoors is unknown and no official recommendations or guidance can be established.

Several potential or hypothetical relevant pollutants are discussed in the scientific literature. Their relevance to health indoors is unknown and no official recommendations or guidance can be established. Mitigation of indoor climate problems become a matter of ad hoc solution and a major research effort is needed to establish facts for these hypothetical effect exposure relations. In the meantime, an ALARA principle should be adopted for these exposures.

Another labelling scheme is the indoor climate labelling scheme, in which building products are tested for their emission of VOCs and by a sensory evaluation of the emissions as a safety measure [62]. The parameter used for evaluation and as a criterion is the time required for the emission of VOCs of concern to decay to the point where their (modelled) room concentrations are below their indoor relevant values. These are based on 50% of either odour-threshold values or airway-irritation estimates.
