billygoat22 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I was invited to a meeting with a local group of doctors to talk about some of the problems I've seen in hvac systems. It seems they had never heard of such problems could affect their patients, but agreed that return air leaks, improper dryer venting, etc. could increase asthma symptoms. One of the doctors suggested a study to see if there was a correlation between the two by testeing if sysmptoms let up after repairs were made and asked if we would want to participate. The question now is to set up a set of standards the hvac, and house, must meet to be considered "fixed". Would anyone know any resources to contact. The one I first thought of, Building Science Corp, only has a mailing address, so I'll have to write them. Sorry for the long post and thanks for any info you can give.

Terence McCann Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi Bryan: Consult ASHRAE: http://www.ashrae.org/. They would be the best source for this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Heck yes, ASHRAE has this kind of thing in the bag and has probably already done the research and knows what sicknesses will be caused by what. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
