Assessment Items
For external researchers only, if the Assessment Item score is unknown enter
UKN in the score. Any blank entries will be treated as UKN entries. Make
sure to Enter 0 when applicable. When the total score is calculated, UKN
is treated as 0.

1. Does the organizations Climate Action Plan explicitly state that
the ventilation requirements follow the 2024 CDC guideline to aim for 5+
ACH in all public spaces?
Score = 10
Requirement
1
2. Is there a course grain ventilation carbon footprint model identifying
the ACH level and carbon footprint for each building?
Score = 10
Model
1
3. Is there a fine grain ventilation carbon footprint model identifying
the ACH level and carbon footprint for each space / room?
Score = 10
Model

4. Using design data has the ACH level been calculated for each space
/ room?
Score = 20 * percent of spaces that have calculated ACH (Score = 20 * 10%
= 2)

5. Using measured data has the ACH level been measured for each space
/ room?
Score = 20 * percent of spaces that have measured ACH (Score = 20 * 10% =
2)
Survey

6. Do the public spaces have 5+ ACH?
Score = 20 * percent of spaces that have 5+ ACH (Score = 20 * 10% = 2)

7. Is there a Ventilation Quality Improvement program that uses a
formal Ventilation Quality Improvement Indicator (QII)?
Score = 20

8. Are there BAS / BMS / EMS systems in the public spaces / rooms?
Score = 10 * percent of spaces that have the system(s) (Score = 10 * 10%
= 1)

9. Do the BAS / BMS / EMS systems in the public spaces report the
actual ACH levels and ventilation power usage kWh?
Score = 20 * percent of spaces that have the system(s) (Score = 20 * 10%
= 2)

10. Has the Green House Report separately reported Metered Ventilation
Carbon footprint?
Metered Score = 20 * percent of the facilities (Score = 20 * 10% = 2)
Reporting

11. Has the Green House Report separately reported Modeled Ventilation
Carbon footprint?
Modeled Score = 10 * percent of the facilities (Score = 10 * 80% = 8)
It is understood that metered data may not be available. In this case modeled
data may be used to determine the ventilation carbon footprint. There may
be facilities that have no data. For example the Total Score = Metered Score
+ Modeled Score; Total Score = 2 + 8 = 10, where 10% of the facilities have
no data.

12. Has the Green House Report Identified the Average, Maximum, and
Minimum ACH levels in all facilities?
Score = 20 * percent of the facilities ( Score = 20 * 100% = 20)

13. Is there an occupant satisfaction survey that meets or exceeds
the minimum criteria specified in this SVARS?
Score = 10

14. If the room ventilation is controlled by the occupants, is there
a sign stating to turn the ventilation On upon room entry and Off upon room
exist?
Score = 10 * percent of rooms ( Score = 10 * 100% = 10)
When occupants visit a room they look for a thermostat or unit ventilator
and turn on the Fan if there is a fan switch available and it is not physically
locked. When there is a room thermostat, move the Fan switch from Auto to
On. This will turn on the fan and it will stay on regardless of temperature.

guidelines provided to all employees and room leaders using the room for
an event?
