The New Goal Post

By Jason Jones

Meeting ASHRAE Standard 241 in existing buildings

The bar for healthy indoor environments is moving—and facility managers are being asked to meet it with buildings and systems that weren’t designed for today’s expectations. ASHRAE Standard 241 raises the goal for clean air delivery, but does meeting that goal mean costly HVAC upgrades and major disruption?



Not necessarily. This article explores practical, performance-based strategies for existing buildings, showing how ventilation, filtration and air cleaning can work together to improve indoor air quality without starting from scratch.

See what’s changing—and how FMs can prepare.
