12:17:58 From Tom Phillips, Healthy Bldg Research : Hi David: great to hear your stories and catch up with your new work!
12:21:13 From Tom Phillips, Healthy Bldg Research : David: how did you get invovled in NonEnergy Benefits on weatherization? I recall that your were one of the first groups in the US to address this issue.
12:38:34 From EVELYN : Re NO2, great question Tom. My first thought was that it might be sewer/drain line related. These days the use of AAVs and piggy backing plumbing vents are increasing, and I imagine if a unit is negatively pressurized from time to time, it would create IAQ concerns like NO2.
12:53:22 From EVELYN : Did they do radon testing in the upper floors of multi-unit buildings?
12:55:25 From Tom Phillips, Healthy Bldg Research : I have not heard of NO2 from sewer drains. re: outdoor NO2: Parking garages and gas clothes dryers are prime suspects tho.
