GLOSSARY & ACRONYMS
1. ACGIH —
American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists
2. ASHRAE —
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers
3. Air Handler/ AHU —
The Furnace or air conditioner that heats, cools and moves the air.
4. Antimicrobial —
Agent that kills Bacteria, Molds and viruses. See “Sanitizer
5. Arrestance —
An ASHRAE standard procedure to measure air filter efficiency (52.1)
6. Bioaerosols —
Molds and bacteria that are found floating in the air.
7. Biological Contaminants —
Bacterial, Mold/Fungus, viruses and their waste, byproducts and
decomposition materials that can be inhaled and cause many types of health effects.
8. Building Related Illness —
Diagnosable illness whose symptoms can be identified and whose
cause can be directly attributed to airborne building pollutants (e.g., Legionnaire’s disease, and
hypersensitivity Pneumonitis).
9. CFM —
Cubic Feet per Minute, a measure of how much air is flowing in an air system.
10. CO —
Carbon Monoxide, an odorless, toxic gas produced during combustion.
11. CO2 —
Carbon Dioxide an odorless, non-toxic gas produced during combustion and exhaled by people.
12. Ceiling Plenum —
The area above a suspended ceiling that may be used as a return path to the
Air Handler.
13. Conditioned Air —
The air that has been filtered, heated or cooled by the air handler.
14. Dampers —
Flaps or valves in the air duct that control the amount of airflow in the duct.
15. Diffusers & Grilles & Registers —
The covers at the end of supply and return ducts that control
the amount and direction of the air-conditioned air entering or leaving a room.
16. Electrostatic Filter —
A High Efficiency (95% Arrestance) Air filter that generate static electricity
from the air movement through the air handler and captures dust from the air while the clean air
move freely through it.
17. EPA —
Environmental Protection Agency
18. Duct —
A metal, plastic or fiberglass tube that transports air to and from the Air Handler. They can
be round, square or rectangular.
19. Duct Board —
Compressed fiberglass material used to make air ducts, particularly in the southern U.S.
20. Fiberglass Filter —
A disposable, very low efficiency filter (approx. 10% arrestance).
21. Flex duct —
Plastic fabric duct with a spiral wire support. It us used extensively in the Western U.S.
22. HEPA —
High Efficiency Particulate Air
23. HVAC —
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
24. IAQ —
Indoor Air Quality
