Alternate Performance Standard Project: Interpreting the Post-Construction Test

摘要

The paper describes the results of a project commissioned by the State ofFlorida, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as one portion of the Florida Radon Research Program (FRRP). The purpose of the FRRP is to provide technical support for a statewide Building Standard for Radon-Resistant Construction currently in the rulemaking process. In this case the information provides technical background for a post-construction radon test specified as a performance element of the code which accompanies the prescriptive alternative that does not incorporate active radon reduction systems.
