自1991年7月以来，华盛顿州通风和室内空气质量规范（VIAQ）要求在所有新住宅中安装全屋通风系统。VIAQ允许使用多种系统。1998年5月，进行了一项调查，以探索乘员与规范规定的系统之间的相互作用。这项调查是一项旨在探索VIAQ有效性的研究项目的一部分。本文调查了235名居住在受通风要求影响的住宅中的华盛顿州居民的调查数据。在10分钟的电话采访中，受访者被问及维修记录、改动、不便之处以及他们整个房子通风系统的好处。研究表明，人们关心室内空气质量，相信新鲜空气对健康很重要。然而，他们的通风系统没有达到建议的水平（3）。 平均每天工作4小时（建议每天工作8小时），当他们调整系统时，他们会调整系统以提供更少的新鲜空气。超过99%的受访者认为他们家的空气质量良好或一般。有系统问题的人，比如噪音、气流和/或能源浪费，使用系统的人比其他人少。虽然拥有法规强制通风系统的人通常不知道所有的系统组件，但64%拥有通风系统的人表示，他们会再次安装相同的系统。单元:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第105卷，第。1999年2月2日，西雅图

The Washington State Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code (VIAQ) has required the installation of whole house ventilation systems in all new homes since July 1991. A variety of systems are allowed by the VIAQ. In May 1998, a survey was conducted to explore occupant interaction with the code mandated systems. The survey is part of a research project designed to explore the effectiveness of the VIAQ. This paper examines the data collected from a survey of 235 Washington State residents living in homes affected by the ventilation requirements. During a 10 minute telephone interview, respondents were asked about repair records, alterations, inconveniences, and benefits of their whole house ventilation systems.The study reveals that people are concerned about indoor air quality, and believe fresh air is important for health. However, they do not operate their ventilation systems near as much as recommended (3.4 hours on average compared to 8 hours per day recommended) and when they adjust their systems, they adjust them to provide even less fresh air. Over 99% of the people surveyed believed the air in their homes was good or average. People who have problems with the systems, such as noise, drafts and/or energy waste, use their systems less than other people. While people who have code mandated ventilation systems are typically not aware of all the systems components, 64% of those with ventilation systems say they would install the same system again.Units: Dual
