- Abstract
- This report describes the results of the preoccupancy and early first year occupancy tests of the Portland East Federal Building. The National Institute of Standards and Technology installed a diagnostic center in the newly constructed federal office building in Portland, OR. The diagnostic center was used to determine the building's air infiltration and ventilation rates, the building envelope tightness, interzone air movement, and the levels of indoor contaminants. The indoor contaminants measured included carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, respirable particulates, formaldehyde, radon and volatile organic compounds.
