How This Helps
Turns standards and seasonal smoke concerns into a recurring review system instead of isolated explainers.
IAQ Update Triggers
A useful watch page tracks standards changes, wildfire smoke guidance, school ventilation updates, and source repairs.
| Trigger | Action | Ignore |
|---|---|---|
| ASHRAE, EPA, CDC, or school guidance change | Update scoped standards rows | Unscoped summaries that skip context |
| Wildfire smoke season or guidance update | Update CADR, MERV, and portable-cleaner preparation paths | Generic seasonal advice without source support |
| Sensor calibration or placement finding | Update CO2 monitoring caveats | Anecdotes without measurement method |
| Filter or cleaner test-program update | Update source and sizing caveats | Marketing claims without test method |
Recurring Review Checklist
Recurring usefulness comes from repeatable review criteria, not from publishing a calendar page.
- Record which metric the update affects.
- Mark whether the update changes a recommendation or only adds context.
- Link affected CO2, CADR, MERV, school, and ventilation pages.
- State which recommendation changed and which did not.
- Keep prior caveats visible when evidence is still incomplete.
What Does Not Count As An Update
An update is not useful unless it changes a measurement, sizing, source-control, filtration, or standards-scope decision.
