For Tenants

There are a number of measures that AtSite recommends to ensure that a healthy indoor environment is maintained for all building occupants including:

• Protect stored on-site or installed absorptive materials from moisture damage.
  
• If air handlers must be used during construction, use filtration media with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 8 at each return grill as determined by ASHRAE, Standard 62.
  
• Replace filtration media immediately prior to occupancy.
  
• When possible, conduct a minimum two week flush out with new filtration media with 100 percent outside air after construction ends and prior to occupancy of the affected space.
  
• Make sure the Contractor notifies the Building Manager 48 hours before beginning any work which may cause objectionable noise or odors.
  
• Carpet systems must meet or exceed the Carpet and Rug Institute Green Label Indoor Air Quality Test Program.
  
• Composite wood and agrifiber products must contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins.
  
• Make sure the Contractor provides protection and barricades as required to ensure personnel safety and complies with OSHA at a minimum.
