平衡高性能建筑的能源效率和通风需求是设计团队面临的最具挑战性的方面之一。通风标准（ASHRAE、机械规范、LEED等）已经发展到允许建筑设计师/工程师通过基于性能的方法实现室内空气品质和能源效率。基于吸附剂的空气净化技术也已发展到可以与这些标准结合使用的程度，以提供舒适的室内环境，同时继续节约能源。 通过清洁室内空气中的污染物并应用ASHRAE标准62.1中的室内空气质量程序（IAQP），可以降低所需的室外通风率。减少室外空气导致运营和资本节能。气体空气过滤方面的投资可以通过避免使用更常用的通风速率程序（VRP）所需的HVAC设备不必要的额外投资来抵消。本文介绍了一个真实世界的案例研究——田纳西州的一个活动中心（LEED大楼）是如何设计一个高层建筑的- 高效地热活动中心，克服制冷能力限制，同时提供可接受的室内空气质量。引文:2018年冬季会议，伊利诺伊州芝加哥，会议论文

Balancing the energy efficiency and ventilation needs of a high-performing building is one of the most challenging aspects a design team faces. Ventilation Standards (ASHRAE, mechanical codes, LEED, WELL) have evolved to allow building designers/engineers the opportunity to achieve both IAQ and energy efficiency by allowing performance-based approaches. Sorbent-based air cleaning technologies have similarly developed to the point that they may be used in conjunction with these standards to provide comfortable indoor environments while continuing to conserve energy. By cleaning indoor air of contaminants and applying the IAQ Procedure (IAQP) of ASHRAE Standard 62.1, required outside ventilation rates can be decreased. Outside air reduction results in operational and capital energy savings. The investment in gaseous air filtration is offset by avoiding unnecessary additional investments in HVAC equipment that would be required using the more commonly applied Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP). This paper covers a real-world case study - how an Event Center (LEED Building) in Tennessee designed a high-efficiency geothermal event center, overcoming cooling capacity limitations while at the same time providing acceptable indoor air quality.
