The project construction documents should require the contractor to:
i.
designate a representative with daily responsibility for IAQ
issues;
ii.
include procedures related to the IAQ Management Plan on
the agenda during regularly scheduled meetings;
iii.
store building materials in a weather tight, clean area
protected from dust, debris and moisture damage;
iv.
keep the premises free from accumulating of waste materials,
rubbish and other debris resulting from the work. Identify the
storage, disposal and good housekeeping practices to be
applied to building supplies and waste materials to protect
HVAC&R systems from contamination;
v.
submit a construction schedule to prevent materials from
acting as sinks for storage and subsequent release of
contaminants emitted from finishes which have the potential
for short-term off-gassing. In the schedule, the contractor
should include appropriate allowances for drying or curing
times before installation of materials that have a fibrous or
porous nature that tend to adsorb contaminants;
vi.
provide adequate outside air continuously during installation
of materials and finishes;
vii.
replace all construction-related filtration media used on
permanent HVAC&R equipment at substantial completion of
the work;
viii.
confirm that all air handling equipment including but not
limited to filters, casing, coils, fans and ducts are clean,
before air quality testing;
ix.
ensure air ducts clean by coordinating duct testing and
cleaning procedures with the commissioning requirements.
A Construction IAQ Management report detailing how fit-out
construction activities, and where applicable demolition and hauling
activities, were executed for the project. The report shall detail:
i.
design approaches, specifications and contract requirements
on actions to be taken by contractors to control dust, odour
and other emissions, moisture damage, etc. generated during
work activities;
ii.
roles and responsibilities for monitoring and reporting on the
execution of the control instructions;
iii.
measures taken to schedule delivery, store, protect and install
absorptive materials in order to minimise exposure to
moisture and airborne contaminants;
iv.
protection measures for fixed HVAC&R systems and
equipment;
v.
protection for all Building Services equipment, including but
not limited to plumbing, tanks, vessels, drainage, piping, FSI,
hose reels, electrical and FSI conduits, etc should be sealed
with temporary plugs during construction;
vi.
source control of pollutants from materials such as sealants
and paints;
vii.
isolation of areas of work to prevent contamination of
adjacent clean or occupied spaces;
viii.
exhausting of contaminants to outside air where appropriate;
