EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OBJECTIVE
Personnel from Gestion Environnementale T. Harris Inc. (GETH) conducted a general Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) assessment of the selected areas on the 3rd to 9th floors of the Leacock
Building located at 855 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, Quebec.
The assessment was performed from November 30th to December 4th 2009 at the request of Mr.
Louis Boissonneault, Project Manager at GENIVAR. This evaluation was conducted in order to
determine the quality of air following the replacement of two ventilation units that serve the 3rd
to 9th floors.
A range of measurements was taken within the areas under study. These included thermal
comfort parameters (temperature and percent relative humidity) and air quality parameters
(carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and respirable suspended particulates).
METHODS
The indoor air quality assessment was performed in selected rooms throughout the 3rd to 9th
floors. The assessment was performed mainly in offices, but measurements were also taken in at
least one class room on each floor.
Spot testing for IAQ parameters was conducted three times throughout the day for a total of 47
sample locations including one exterior location. Measurements were taken in sufficient numbers
in order to determine if any significant differences in air quality parameters occurred from
location to location and during different periods of the day.
Continuous monitoring for IAQ parameters was conducted over a 24-hour period in three
locations on each floor (3rd to 9th floors) and consisted of recording measured parameters every
minute. Continuous monitoring locations were chosen according to information we received
from the employees in the weeks prior to our assessment.
Average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are all below the ASHRAE guideline
concentration (950 ppm i.e. 600 ppm (at 17 CFM) above outdoor CO2 concentration) and
show that the rooms are receiving an adequate supply of fresh air.
Average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were all below the ASHRAE guideline for an
8-hour period (9 ppm).
Average temperatures measured in some rooms (318, 324, 443C, 539, 608, 718, 732, 812,
923 and 943) are above the ASHRAE maximum temperature guideline for winter months
(24 oC).
Temperatures above the ASHRAE maximum temperature guideline for winter months
(24 oC) were observed in most of the locations tested (see maximum values in Tables I to
VIII in Appendix I).
With the exception of rooms 318 and 324, average relative humidity levels are all above the
minimum relative humidity level of 20% for office spaces established by the RROHS. Most
of the rooms tested over a 24-hour period also meet the ASHRAE recommended range for
relative humidity (30-60%).
Average respirable suspended particulates (RSP) concentrations are all below the ASHRAE
guideline (50 g/m3).
Maintain temperature within ASHRAE guidelines, i.e. between 20 and 24oC for winter
months.
Avoid drifts in temperature exceeding the limits established by ASHRAE.
Maintain relative humidity levels within ASHRAE guidelines, i.e. between 30 and 60%.

OBJECTIVE
Personnel from Gestion Environnementale T. Harris Inc. (GETH) conducted a general Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) assessment of the selected areas on the 3rd to 9th floors of the Leacock
Building located at 855 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, Quebec.
The assessment was performed from November 30th to December 4th 2009 at the request of Mr.
Louis Boissonneault, Project Manager at GENIVAR. This evaluation was conducted in order to
determine the quality of air following the replacement of two ventilation units that serve the 3rd
to 9th floors.
A range of measurements was taken within the areas under study. These included thermal
comfort parameters: temperature (T) and percent relative humidity (%RH); air quality
parameters: carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and respirable suspended particulates
(RSP).
2.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for buildings are designed to provide
good air quality and thermal comfort at a reasonable energy cost. Good air quality refers to
adequate oxygen levels, removal of CO2 resulting from human respiration, and dilution/removal
of contaminants, including odours. Thermal comfort is typically defined as an environment in
which at least 80% of normally clothed occupants engaged in sedentary or near-sedentary
activities, feel comfortable. Environmental factors contributing to thermal comfort include air
temperature, radiant heat load, relative humidity, and air velocity.
At the present time, there are no legally enforceable standards for indoor air pollutants in
residential and institutional buildings, and non-industrial workplaces in Canada. However,
various organizations have published guidelines for evaluating indoor air quality. These air
quality guidelines specify maximum concentrations and exposure times for specific contaminants
in indoor and outdoor environments.

METHODS
3.1
Investigated Areas
The indoor air quality assessment was performed in selected rooms throughout the 3rd to 9th
floors. The assessment was performed mainly in offices, but measurements were also taken in at
least one class room on each floor.
3.2
Measurements of temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide
(CO) were taken using a TSI Q-Trak IAQ Monitor (Models 8551 and 8554). This instrument has
four separate sensors (one for each parameter).
Airborne particulate measurements were taken using a TSI Dust-Trak Aerosol Monitor (Model
8520). This device instantaneously measures average, minimum and maximum particle
concentrations for particles between 0.1 and 10 m in diameter, with a measuring range of 10
g/m3 to 100 mg/m3. Air sampling was conducted at a flow rate of 1.7 litre per minute (lpm). A
10 mm diameter nylon cyclone, attached to the sampling port was employed, in order to measure
the respirable fraction from the total airborne dust sampled. The cyclone, at a flow rate of
1.7 lpm, cuts off particles greater than 4 m in diameter.
The above instruments were calibrated according to manufacturer instructions.
Spot testing for IAQ parameters was conducted three times throughout the day for a total of 47
sample locations including one exterior location. Measurements were taken in sufficient numbers
in order to determine if any significant differences in air quality parameters occurred from
location to location and during different periods of the day.
Continuous monitoring for IAQ parameters was conducted over a 24-hour period in three
locations on each floor (3rd to 9th floors) and consisted of recording measured parameters every
minute. Maximum, minimum and average values for each parameter were calculated.
Continuous monitoring locations were chosen according to information we received from the
employees in the weeks prior to our assessment.

Chart No. 10: Continuous Monitoring for Respirable Suspended Particulates (RSP)
3rd to 9th Floors, November 30th-December 4th 2009
Note: Average RSP concentration for room 307 is based on a 20-hour monitoring since the device was unplugged
during sampling.
Chart No. 10 shows that the average concentrations of respirable suspended particulates (RSP)
(2-44 g/m3) measured over a 24-hour period are below the ASHRAE guideline (50 g/m3) in
all rooms. The average concentration for room 422 is unavailable due to a malfunction of the
device. The maximum concentration recorded for this room is 23 g/m3.

Average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are all below the ASHRAE guideline
concentration (950 ppm i.e. 600 ppm (at 17 CFM) above outdoor CO2 concentration) and
show that the rooms are receiving an adequate supply of fresh air.
Average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were all below the ASHRAE guideline for an
8-hour period (9 ppm).
Average temperatures measured in some rooms (318, 324, 443C, 539, 608, 718, 732, 812,
923 and 943) are above the ASHRAE maximum temperature guideline for winter months
(24 oC).
Temperatures above the ASHRAE maximum temperature guideline for winter months
(24 oC) were observed in most of the locations tested (see maximum values in Tables I to
VIII in Appendix I).
With the exception of rooms 318 and 324, average relative humidity levels are all above the
minimum relative humidity level of 20% for office spaces established by the RROHS. Most
of the rooms tested over a 24-hour period also meet the ASHRAE recommended range for
relative humidity (30-60%).
Average respirable suspended particulates (RSP) concentrations are all below the ASHRAE
guideline (50 g/m3).
Some rooms (located on the corners of the building) have opening windows, but the majority
has non-opening windows.
Room 324 (computer laboratory) was originally a larger room and no change in the
ventilation system has been made since the room changed layout.

While the quantity of air supplied to a work area is vital for diluting odours and other
contaminants, indoor air quality complaints may be related to thermal comfort rather than
contaminant levels. Temperature and relative humidity can play a role in how people perceive
their indoor environment. Thermal comfort is a function of temperature, relative humidity and air
motion.
The level of carbon dioxide (CO2) present in an occupied space is a good indicator of adequate
ventilation rates. Under the ASHRAE guideline, the recommended maximum carbon dioxide
(CO2) concentrations are 600 ppm above the outside concentrations for ventilation rate of 17
CFM of outside air.
Average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations measured in the Leacock Building are below the
ASHRAE guideline concentration (950 ppm) in all the locations tested. These results indicate
that all the locations are receiving adequate quantities of fresh air to control the build-up of
contaminants. Under these conditions, contaminants generated in the space under normal
conditions should not build up to concentrations expected to impact on occupant comfort or
health.
Average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations remained below the ASHRAE guideline for an
8-hour period (9 ppm) in all locations tested. Therefore, this should not represent a health
concern to the building occupants.
The average temperatures recorded in rooms 318, 324, 443C, 539, 608, 718, 732, 812, 923 and
943 (24.1-29.3oC) are higher than the thermal comfort range of 20 to 24C as derived for winter
season from the ASHRAE recommended temperature ranges. Spot testing, along with maximum
temperature values recorded during continuous monitoring, show that temperatures above the
ASHRAE maximum temperature guideline for winter months (24 oC) were observed in most of
the locations tested.
Drifts in temperatures were observed mainly from the 4th to the 8th floors (notably in room 832).
Temperature drifts should not exceed the limits established by ASHRAE (see Table II).
Temperatures higher than the thermal comfort range, along with fluctuations in the temperature
(that are not under the control of the occupants) can play a role in how people perceive their
indoor environment. Temperatures should be maintained within the thermal comfort range of
20 to 24C as derived for winter season from the ASHRAE recommended temperature ranges.
With the exception of rooms 318 and 324, average relative humidity levels are all above the
minimum relative humidity level of 20% for office spaces established by the RROHS. Most of
the rooms tested over a 24-hour period also meet the ASHRAE recommended range for relative
