REGULAR SESSION MINUTES 2 SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 <br />consulting. He noted that Robert Cashins of Cashins and Associates was not present this evening. <br />Building Science Corporation's Mr. Lstiburek noted that they work a full range of buildings. He <br />added that dilution is not the solution to indoor pollution. The problem can be people, pollution, <br />and the understanding of pathways and pressure. He noted the problem with materials and source <br />of material degradation, i.e. water, heat and ultra violet light. Mr. Lstiburek stated they would <br />take a day to do a building assessment and see how the mechanical system works. They would <br />look at air changes in the building and carbon dioxide levels. Their concern would be to see how <br />a building is operated and maintained. It would be important to look at areas that might get wet <br />and how much air moves in the building. They measure carbon dioxide and from the recorded <br />results they could make an assessment. <br />Mr. Cummings asked what percentage of their work was because there is an existing problem? <br />Mr. Lstiburek stated 75 %. He added their service package is $100 to $125 per hour. <br />H. L. Turner Group Mr. Johnson and Mr. Turner came forward to present their type of services. <br />Mr. Turner stated they have evaluated millions of square feet. He commended Reading's pro- <br />active approach. Their fee is $125 per hour and $75 per hour for field staff. <br />Mr. Johnson said air component measurements can be misleading, i.e. on a day that mold might <br />be blossoming. They would go through the building with the mechanical drawings and <br />operational plans. Part of the evaluation is to establish the sources of indoor air pollutants. <br />Mr. Turner stressed durability and maintainability of the products. <br />Mr. Johnson shared the "Tools for Schools' Program ". He added a team atmosphere needs to be <br />created between parents, teachers and students. <br />Mr. Twomey asked about cross contamination in the old building with the new building at Parker. <br />Mr. Turner stated they would split the building with a dust wall to make sure everything stays <br />contained. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that last week they had dust in the Parker conference room caused by the <br />low pressure in a room that was drawing the dust in. <br />0 <br />
