ASHRAE 62.2-2010 Addendum j

This addendum adds new definitions, revises Sections 6 and 7, and adds a new Section 8 with requirements specific to multifamily buildings. The changes in requirements account for unique features of multifamily buildings as compared to single-family buildings and include (1) adjusting the whole-building ventilation rate due to the fact that infiltration cannot be relied on for individual units in multifamily buildings; (2) provision of ventilation to common spaces and common parking garages, which do not exist in single-family buildings; and (3) prevention of contaminant transfer from other units through walls or ducts.
