on equipment destroys ozone molecules in the stratosphere and reduces the ozone layer's ability to block harmful ultraviolet light from penetrating Earth's atmosphere. CFCs in the stratosphere also absorb infrared radiation and create chlorine, a potent greenhouse gas, further harming the atmosphere.

The design of new facility space must be based on the designated mandatory and prescriptive requirements of ASHRAE 9O.1-2OO7 or USGBC-approved local code, whichever is more stringent. In addition, optimization of building energy performance beyond ASHRAE 90.1-200

Credit 4.1 1. Benefits and Issues to Consider Many building products contain compounds that have a negative impact on indoor air quality (LAQ) and Earth's atmosphere. The most prominent of these compounds—volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—contribute to smog generation and air pollution as well as adv

ally. Doing so can require higher energy use to operate compliant HVAC systems compared with systems that do not meet the ventilation guidelines of ASHRAE 62.1-2007. Compared with personnel costs, any premium associated with ensuring IAQ is insignificant. Poor IAQ can cause illness, and the additional

Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases are a root cause of global climate change. Group (shared)
