The development of this standard responds to the need to complement and improve the requirements established by quality standards and current legislation. This document will contribute to achieve the indoor air quality requirements established in the current regulations and their evolution. It also provides a comprehensive procedure for the implementation, validation and auditing of continuous carbon dioxide measurement systems.
The UNE 171380 standard covers the requirements to be met by measurement equipment, the project for its implementation depending on the types and uses of the enclosures, the management and reporting of the data obtained, the establishment of CO2 concentration thresholds for air quality, and the procedures for auditing these measurements.
The UNE Standard has been developed in a working group in the UNE Committee on Indoor Environmental Quality (CTN-UNE 171), led by Aireamos and the secretariat by the Federation of Indoor Environmental Quality Companies (FEDECAI), with the support of the General Council of Official Associations of Industrial Engineers and the participation of all stakeholders.
The seminar was attended by Rafael Postigo, from UNE; César Franco, from the Council of Industrial Engineers Associations; Patricia Ripoll, from Aireamos; José-Luis Jiménez, from the University of Colorado; Margarita del Val, from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa; Miguel Ángel Campano, from the University of Seville; José Manuel Felisi, from MESURA; Samuel Domínguez, from the University of Seville; and Manuel Soriano, from the Madrid Association of Industrial Engineers.
