Inquiry

A previous Credit Ruling stated: "The Committee agreed that monitoring CO in a residential application was an appropriate step to address indoor air quality in this occupancy." We have thus chosen to use this approach for another multi-family rental apartment project. This project has no assembly spaces of any kind, so our strategy relies solely on the CO monitoring of each individual dwelling unit. We propose to install battery-powered CO monitors with requirement placed on tenants not to tamper with these units, while providing tenants information on testing CO monitor functionality and providing building-wide testing and battery replacement for the CO monitors as part of annual unit inspections and maintenance. Please confirm whether this approach constitutes an acceptable approach to CO monitoring of the dwelling units, or whether hard-wiring will be required.
