BBJ Environmental Solutions, Inc.’s Chairman Robert Baker has been selected by the American Society of Heating and Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to chair a newly formed committee that is charged with developing standards for maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The project, labeled ASHRAE SPC 180 P or “Standard Practice for Inspection and Maintenance of HVAC Systems”, will establish minimum inspection points and maintenance intervals for HVAC and filtration systems in commercial, residential and public buildings.

Mr. Baker, who is also Chair of the IICRC S-520 committee (Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation) is widely viewed as a pioneer in indoor air quality solutions. “In the past, operation and maintenance of HVAC systems has been considered the responsibility of manufacturers of system components and owners and operators.” Robert Baker said. “As systems have grown more complex, the maintenance direction provided by the manufacturer of one component of a system has become less useful as the proper operation depends on all components working together.” Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors, yet there are currently no standards on how the ventilation systems that handle the air we breathe are maintained.
