Inquiry

We propose to install (2) CO2 monitors on each floor at the point where the plenum return air enters each mechanical room. The CO2 levels will be continuously monitored by the EMS system. If any CO2 monitor indicates a CO2 level 530 ppm above ambient CO2 levels, the VFD controlling the respective Outside Air / Relief Air unit will increase the supply of outside air until CO2 levels reach acceptable levels in that area. Will the system described above comply with the requirements of this credit? If not, how can we modify the system to comply?
