Lung cancer has risen 56% in Beijing over a decade, mainly due to air pollution. [1] !!
Cancer is the leading cause of death in China, with lung cancer claiming the most mortalities. [2] !!
410,000 people (and rising) die each year due to air pollution in China. [3]

Children are more susceptible because their immune systems are not yet fully developed and they breathe in 50% more air per kilo of body weight than adults. [1] !
PM 2.5 exposure has been correlated with birth weight deficits of 189g and smaller birth lengths of 1.1cm in male infants. [2]

Indoor PM2.5 levels are about 75% of outdoor levels. Buildings tend to be negatively pressurized, pulling particulates indoors and adding them to indoor chemical gasses. [1] !
Formaldehyde in more than 92% of Chinese households is above the maximum allowable standard. 76% of the households are 5 times higher than the standard. [2] !
Concentration of individual indoor air pollutants can easily be 100x worse than outside. [3] !
The average person in Shanghai and Beijing spends 91% of their time indoors. [4]

• Absolute level: 2-10 times the healthy level. Results from certified green building post flush-out. • Patterns: drops when HVAC in operation and builds up when HVAC system not on and during non-
office hours • Influencing factors: building materials and ventilation.

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) !Certification Standards: Certification Standards for IAQ monitoring meet or exceed international best practices.
RESET requires monitoring for 5 related data points. These 5 data points are necessary to help identify issues locally and remotely, as well as build operational intelligence. !Levels must be maintained 100% of the time during hours of occupancy, calculated on a monthly basis.

2013CASE STUDY (6/12/2013) !
•Worst case situation •Outdoor levels averaged 472 ug/m3 – 12x the US EPA’s standard for healthy air (35 ug/m3) •Meanwhile, indoor levels with filtration system averaged 34 ug/m3 •System reduced PM levels 93% •No staff complaints during highest levels in 10 years
How good? This good.
TYPICAL FINDINGS: (non-certified. multiple case studies)
Good Moderate Sensitive Unhealthy Very Unhealthy
Particulates (PM2.5) 24-Hour Testing Period
• Indoor base level of about 20.
• When Outdoor level is low, Indoor air has a higher particle count than Outdoor.
• Beyond ~40, Indoor levels = Outdoor levels.
Carbon Dioxide: 3 Day Testing Period
Good Moderate Sensitive Unhealthy Very Unhealthy
• Absolute level: Of concern. Levels hover between Moderate and Very Unhealthy.
• Patterns: Predictable. Directly related to occupancy. Slightly accelerated decrease at ~6am.
• Influencing factors: Highly insufficient fresh air supply
Relative Humidity (RH) 3 Day Testing Period
Good Moderate Sensitive Unhealthy Very Unhealthy
• Absolute level: consistently elevated, possibly leads to mold growth and pest proliferation. Requires additional cooling and energy consumption to bring spaces into comfort zone.
• Patterns: Humidity drops when HVAC is turned on. • Influencing factors: HVAC system lacks sufficient dehumidification function.
Good
Temperature: 1 Week Testing Period
• Absolute level: comfortable level • Patterns: Temperature drops when HVAC system is on during office hours. Level of cooling required
could be saved significantly if RH levels were in the 50% range. • Influencing factor: HVAC system settings and outdoor temperature

RESET about !!RESET™ is an acronym for Regenerative Ecological, Social and Economic Targets. It is a catalyst for the design and production of products and buildings that help regenerate our damaged environments. !Started in 2004, it was developed internally for projects. It was publicly released in 2009 as an environmental benchmarking system for building products. RESET™ is now being released in stages for use in projects. !RESET™ is administered by GIGA, an independent third-party focused on building materials. GIGA’s innovative approach to transforming the building industry has been celebrated internationally, from TED to the Clinton Global Initiative and CNN. !For more information: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
