SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Indoor Air Quality. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Tufted and woven carpet for commercial, institutional, healthcare, educational, hospitality, and multi-family interior applications — modular carpet tile and broadloom. Covers product format and construction, face fiber and dye method, face weight and pile, primary and secondary backing, flammability and smoke performance, static control, indoor-air-quality (IAQ) certification, accessories (adhesives, tackifier, separate cushion, transition strips), concrete and wood subfloor preparation, moisture and alkalinity acceptance and testing, direct glue-down, double-glue, free-lay, and stretch-in installation methods, seaming, transitions and accessibility, field quality, initial maintenance, and warranty.
Packaged dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) that condition 100% outdoor air to satisfy the building's ventilation requirement independently of the spaces' sensible cooling and heating. Covers indoor and outdoor/rooftop units, the air-to-air energy recovery section (enthalpy wheel, fixed-plate, heat-pipe, or runaround loop), the deep-cooling and dehumidification section (integrated DX, air-source or water-source heat pump, or chilled water), the reheat method that controls leaving dewpoint and supply air temperature (hot-gas reheat, modulating reheat, wraparound heat pipe, or dehumidification wheel), the heating source, filtration, fans, casing, and the controls integration that coordinates the DOAS with the parallel sensible system it serves. Applicable to DOAS paired with variable refrigerant flow, fan coils, chilled beams, water-source heat pumps, or sensible-only rooftop units, in commercial, institutional, multifamily, and light-industrial buildings.
Resilient floor coverings for commercial, institutional, healthcare, educational, and multi-family interior applications — luxury vinyl tile and plank (LVT/LVP), vinyl composition tile (VCT), sheet vinyl with and without backing, rubber tile and sheet, and sheet linoleum. Covers product type and construction, wear-layer and gauge selection, flammability and smoke performance, slip resistance, indoor-air-quality (VOC) certification, accessories (adhesives, transition strips, resilient base), concrete and wood subfloor preparation, moisture testing and mitigation, full-spread glue-down and floating installation methods, heat- and chemical-welded seaming for sheet goods, field testing, initial maintenance, and warranty.
