VI. PROJECT DEFINITION
A. BACKGROUND
There have been complaints of odors, headaches, and respiratory discomfort from occupants located
in the basement Library (Rooms B63 & B63A) of the State House Annex. See Exhibit „C‟, pages 1
& 2, for the rooms and locations served by AHU #4.
Based on the occupant complaints, the Client Agency employed the services of Consultant firms to
evaluate the HVAC system and air quality of the areas in question and make recommendations for
corrective actions. See Exhibit “D”, “Feasibility Report HVAC System Investigation at the State
House Annex”, Exhibit “E”, “Indoor Air Quality Investigation”, Exhibit “F”, Indoor Air Quality
Investigation – Extended Temperature and Relative Humidity Monitoring” and Exhibit “G”,
Certified Test, Adjust and Balance Report” for the results of their evaluation and recommendations
for correction of the deficiencies.
B. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
The New Jersey State House Annex Building includes four stories and a full basement totaling
approximately 149,000 square feet. It serves as the primary residence for the Office of Legislative
Services (OLS) where legislative committee meetings and public hearings are held.
The building is an H-shaped structure and was constructed in two phases. The first phase was
completed in 1928 and includes the west wing and half of the cross bar. The second phase was
completed in 1931 and includes the east wing and the rest of the cross bar. A major renovation
completed in early 1995 restored the building’s historical and architectural elements and brought it
to modern building codes.
C. DESCRIPTION OF AHU #4
PROJECT NAME: Air Handler Unit #4 Replacement
PROJECT LOCATION: State House Annex
PROJECT NO: A1121-00
DATE: August 5, 2011
PAGE 13
Air-Handling Unit (AHU) #4 is located in a Mechanical Room located on the Basement Level of
the State House Annex. AHU #4 consists of an outside air intake connected to a louver in the
exterior wall, a return air opening, pre-filters and bag filters, chilled water cooling coil, hot water
heating coil and a supply air fan with a variable speed drive. AHU #4 serves as the primary
component of the HVAC system serving the Office of Legislative Services library and other
adjacent areas on the Basement Level and a portion of the 1st floor including offices and the
hallway area directly outside of Committee Room 6. The supply duct, from AH-4, splits into two
main duct branches. One branch serves the areas on the Basement Level and the other serves the
areas on the 1st Floor. There are eight (8) variable-air-volume (VAV) boxes also associated with
this system. These VAV boxes regulate the air flow to each zone and are controlled by the space
temperature set point. Air is generally distributed via ceiling mounted supply air diffusers.

HVAC System Investigation and ReportState House Annex, Trenton, NJ
June 23, 2008
Executive SummaryThis report includes a detailed description of our observations and findings associated with the Heating,Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning system associated with Air-Handling Unit, AH-4 in order to determineif the system is operating as it was originally intended. Our observation and findings indicate that the unitis generally operating as it was originally designed with the exception of the current airflow rates in theOffice of Legislative Services Library in Room B63. The airflow in this area was found to be almost 50%below the design airflow rates. Based on our meetings with the facilities staff, it is our understandiiig thatthe airflow had been reduced in response to requests from the library staff for comfort reasons.
Our review of the system also identified several deficiencies with the system as it was originallydesigned. These include an inadequate return air system, lack of a dedicated pathway to relieve “spill” airfrom the building, poor location for the outside air intake, limited control of the outside air flow rate tomaintain minimum ventilation air rates, and lack of direct humidity control.
We reviewed the Indoor Air Quality Investigation report prepared by USA Environmental Management,Inc., which indicated that there was “fungi activity” in the supply air duct liner insulation. We concurwith USA’s recommendation to remove the duct liner. USA’s report also indicated that temperature andhumidity levels were within an acceptable range. USA identified that there were elevated particulatelevels in the paper handling area of the Library. We believe that these concentrations could be reduced ifthe airflow rates for the Library area are corrected and the return air system is improved.
We also reviewed the East Wing Basement Water Intrusion Study by Joseph B. Callaghan, Inc., whichindicates that there is water infiltration through the sub-grade exterior walls which is the source of thereported “elevated humidity”. This appears to have been the cause for the detected mold and corrodedmetal studs found in the area of the Library and adjacent Storage Room. The primary solution should beimproving the waterproofing of the exterior wall to prevent the water intrusion. This area should also bemonitored for elevated humidity. If the accumulation of moisture and elevated humidity levels persist,portable type dehumidifiers should be installed to maintain proper humidity levels.
PurposeEdwards and Kelcey Architectural and Design Services, Inc. (EK) has been contracted by the State ofNew Jersey Department of the Treasury Division of Property Management and Construction (DPMC) onbehalf of the New Jersey State Legislature Office of Legislative Services (OLS) to provide investigationand analysis necessary to determine if the existing HVAC system serving portions of the Basement and lFloor of the State House Annex is operating as it was originally intended and in accordance with currentcodes and standards in order to identify system deficiencies and provide recommendations for correctionof these deficiencies. The primary focus of this study is on the OLS Library (Rooms B63 and B63A)located on the Basement Level, where it was reported that there have been complaints from the occupantsdue to odors and specific symptoms of headaches and respiratory discomfort, and the Office Area (Room133) located on the First Floor.
This study takes into consideration that fact that the primary area of focus is a library and that there arespecific and unique HVAC requirements that need to be addressed in order to maintain proper conditionsfor the library.
This study includes a review of two separate, related reports including the DRAFT Indoor Air QualityInvestigation prepared by USA Environmental Management, Inc. dated May 5, 2008 and the East WingBasement Water Intrusion Study prepared by Joseph B. Callaghan, Inc. dated December 21, 2007. Thepurpose for review of these reports is to determine if there is any correlation between the findings of thisstudy and the findings included within these other reports.

EK was also requested by OLS to investigate the HVAC system associated with AH-9, which servesareas of the Basement adjacent to the areas served by AH-4. The purpose of investigating AH-9 is thatOLS stated that there was a noticeable difference between the areas served by AH-4 and AH-9.
Design Parameters for Libraries and ArchivesThe 2007 ASHRAE Handbook — HVAC Applications, Chapter 21 — Museums, Galleries, Archives andLibraries addresses relative humidity, temperature, and air pollution design for HVAC systems. Theserecommendations vary depending on the type of collection and the allowable risk of deterioration of thematerials. The scope of the chapter is applicable to “low-access storage environments” and “does notapply to libraries designed for public access with collections that are not intended for archivalpreservation”. Therefore, the ASHRAE recommendations are intended for special collections or archives,which are separated from general public access areas. Generally speaking, when precision control for acollection is required, ASHRAE recommends the following:
• Temperature set point between 59 and 77°F with an allowable short term fluctuation of +I 4°Fand a seasonal adjustment of +1- 9°F.
• Relative Humidity set point of 50% rh with an allowable short term fluctuation of +I 5% and aseasonal adjustment of +I 10% rh.
Based on the ASHRAE standard and other industry standards, special collections should be storedseparate from areas of general access so that the environment can be properly maintained. The existingAH-4 system may be able to maintain these space temperature set points. However, the existing system isnot able to precisely control relative humidity as required to meet these standards.
Design standards for the general public access areas or staff work areas are similar to those for commonoccupancies such as offices areas. The one major difference would be the recommended limitations totemperature and more importantly humidity fluctuations during periods when the Library is unoccupied.
• Temperature:o Winter set point of 70 degrees F (occupied); 60 degrees F (unoccupied)o Summer set point of 75 degrees (occupied); 80 degrees F (unoccupied)
• Humidity:o Winter set point of 30% rho Summer set point 50% rho Allowable Range: 30 to 60% rh (occupied and unoccupied)
Based on the above requirements for the general public access areas, it is important to note that theHVAC system serving the Library should not be shut off during unoccupied periods, but rather the systemcontinue to operate to maintain the unoccupied set points.
General Description of the SystemAir-Handling Unit, AH-4 is located in a Mechanical Room located on the Basement Level (See photo #1).AH-4 consists of an outside air intake connected to a louver in the exterior wall, a return air opening, prefilters and bag filters, chilled water cooling coil, hot water heating coil and a supply air fan with a variablespeed drive. AH-4 serves as the primary component of the HVAC system serving The OLS Library andother adjacent areas on the Basement Level and a portion of the floor including offices and the hallwayarea directly outside of Committee Room 6. The supply duct, from AH-4, splits into two main ductbranches. One branch serves the areas on the Basement Level and the other serves the areas on the lFloor (See Photo #7). There are eight (8) variable-air-volume (VAV) boxes also associated with thissystem. These VAV boxes regulate the air flow to each zone and are controlled by the space temperatureset point. Air is generally distributed via ceiling mounted supply air diffusers.

General Observations1. Return Air System: Air is returned from the spaces to AH-4 via a return air ceiling plenum and
transfer ducts from the Basement Level and the 1st Floor to the Mechanical Room in theBasement where AH-4 is located. There is no direct ductwork connection from the spaces to theair-handling unit (See photo #4). The Mechanical Room is acting as a return air plenum and isunder negative pressure when AH-4 is running. There is no return air fan, exhaust air fan,exhaust louver or means to “spill” or “dump” the portion of the return air that is not beingreturned back to the system. There does not appear to be any designated pathway for this excessair to be removed from the building.

2. Outside Air and Ventilation: The Ventilation Schedule on the 1994 Annex HVAC Renovationplans, drawing M-823, indicates that the design provides for 20 cubic feet per minute (CFM) ofoutside air per person. This would be consistent with current codes and design practices for thesetypes of spaces (International Mechanical CodeI2006). The design minimum outside air for AH4 is 3,600 CFM. Outside air for ventilation is introduced to the system via an outside air intake,which is located below grade. There is an areaway covered with a metal grate located outside inthe courtyard between the State House and the Annex (See photo #6). The bottom of the areawayis approximately 8 feet below grade. There is a modulating damper on the outside air intake.However, because there is no damper on the return (See photos #4 and #5), when the outside airdamper is 100% open, the system is not actually operating at 100% outside air and is insteadapproximately 50% outside air (Refer to item #4 under Air Flow Testing below). Based on this,when AH-4 is operating under part load conditions and total supply air is less than 7,200 CFM,the actual outside air flow rate will be less than the design minimum of 3,600 CFM. In otherwords when the unit is operating below approximately 84% of full speed the amount of outsideair will be less than the designed minimum. In addition, there is no exhaust fan included in thissystem or means to exhaust the minimum ventilation air.
3. It has been reported by the Library staff that fumes from the elevator machine room enter theLibrary area. Based on a review of the 1994 Annex HVAC Renovation plans, drawing M823,indicates that there is no exhaust fan in the elevator machine room. There is a fan coil unit with achilled water cooling coil controlled by a space thermostat. However, this is for cooling only anddoes not provide any ventilation of the room.

Air Flow TestingAs a part of this investigation EK hired TAB Systems, Inc. to perform field testing of the current airflowrates of the HVAC system associated with AH-4. TAB Systems Inc. is a Testing and BalancingCompany for Air and Hydronic System certified by the National Environmental Balancing Bureau(NEBB). The data collected by TAB systems Inc. is presented in their Certified Test, Adjust, andBalance Report dated April 28, 2008 and included in the Appendix of this Report. This data was used tocompare actual airflow rates to the original design. The testing by TAB Systems Inc. was performedwhile representatives from EK were at the facility and was coordinated with Steven Pietrzak and thefacility engineering staff. The VAV boxes associated with AH-4 were adjusted by the facility staffthrough the Honeywell Building Automation System so that the airflow could be measured at both theminimum and maximum set-points.
Summary of Findings for the Air Flow Testing:
1. The air flow measurements of the air outlets in the OLS Library (Room B63) and associated withVAV #53 were collectively almost 50% below the design air flow rates. The total design air ratefor VAV #53 was 2,050 CFM. The total measured air flow was 1,065 CFM.
2. For all other outlets that could be measured, the actual air flow rates were approximately equal toor greater than the design air flow rates. This includes air outlets for VAVs #51, #60 and #70.(VAV #51 serves OLS Library Room B63A in the Basement. VAV #60 serves the hallway areaoutside of the Committee Room 6 on the 1st Floor. VAV #70 serves the Office Area in Room 133on the lS Floor.) [See Conclusions, item #7 on page 13.]
3. When AH-4 is running at 100% flow, the actual total supply CFM is 10,098 CFM. This is 18%greater than the design air flow rate of 8,580 CFM. The main duct branch serving the 1st Floorwas measured to have an actual air flow rate of 6,972 CFM, which is 25% greater than the designair flow rate of 5,580 CFM. This means that the actual air flow to the Basement Level was 3,126CFM, which is very close to the design air flow rate of 3,000 CFM. For additional informationand findings related to the testingthat was performed for this system, refer to the complete Test,Adjust, and Balance Report included in the appendix.

4. With AH-4 running at 100% and the outside damper at 100% open, the return air was measuredto be 5,328 CFM, which would mean that the outside air was 4,770 CFM or 47% of the totalactual supply air. The designed minimum outside air is 3,600 CFM or 42% of the total designsupply air. The air flow rates were also measured when all the VAV boxes were at the minimumposition. The total actual supply air flow of AH-4 was 4,896 CFM when all the VAV boxes wereat minimum position. Based on the fact that when the outside air damper is 100% open, AH-4 issupplying approximately 47% outside air, when the AH-4 was supplying 4,896 CFM, the outsideair would be 2,300 CFM, which is 1,300 CFM less than the design minimum outside air of 3,600CFM.
5. When all the VAV boxes were at minimum position, the static pressure reading at the supply fandischarge was +3.11”. However, the Honeywell control system was reading a static pressure ofonly +2.5” (at the supply fan discharge), which is the high static pressure limit for the system.Based on these readings, the high limit discharge static pressure sensor appears to be out ofcalibration.
6. Per the facility engineering staff, the control system is set to maintain a +1.25” duct staticpressure. The exact location of this system duct static pressure sensor was not observed.However, this sensor would typically be located approximately 2/3 downstream from the supplyfan. When all the VAV boxes were at the minimum position, the control system was onlyreading a static pressure of +0.31”. This appears to be due to the fact that the high limit of thedischarge static pressure sensor was actually regulating the speed of the fan to keep the dischargepressure from exceeding the high limit of +2.5”. Thus, the high limit sensor was controlling thefan speed rather than the duct system static pressure sensor under this condition.
Comparison to AH-9AH-9 is a dedicated 100% outside air (O.A.) unit which serves various areas on the Basement, 2M andFloor Levels (See photo #8). The function of AH-9 is to provide conditioned (heated or cooled) O.A. tomeet the ventilation requirements for these spaces. AH-9 is not the primary heating and coolingcomponent of this system. The fan coils located in these spaces provide the heating and cooling requiredfor occupant comfort. This configuration offers some advantages in that there is greater ability to remove

the moisture from the air (dehumidify) before it is distributed to the areas served by this system. This isnot to say that AH-4 does not provide any dehumidification. AH-4 will dehumidifythe air when the airentering the cooling coil is cooled below the dew point temperature of the air. However, the control ofthe cooling coil control valve may be subject to cycling open-closed based on economizer controlsequences, outside and space temperature conditions. Additionally, AH-9 is located in a pre-fabricatedpenthouse on the roof of the building, which provides a superior location for the outside air intake overAH-4. The outside air intake for AH-4 is located in an area approximately 8 feet below grade and is moresusceptible to dust, fumes, etc. that may be present at grade level.

Review of the DRAFT Indoor Air Quality Investigation report prepared by USA EnvironmentalManagement Inc.As requested, EK reviewed the DRAFT report prepared by USA, dated May 5, 2008. The followingitems were noted because the findings by USA are directly related to the HVAC system:
1. Page 1, 2Kl Paragraph, “The testing revealed the presence of normal conditions for many airquality parameters. Fresh Air ventilation was excellent in all monitored spaces. Normal levels ofcarbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and airborne fungi were reported.”
2. Page 1, 4th Paragraph, “We note that several particulate peaks and one carbon monoxide peakwere recorded in the AHU-04 mechanical room. Since the room serves as the return chamber forAHU-04, it is possible that emissions from the mechanical room would be distributed to theoccupied areas.”
3. Page 1, 5th Paragraph, “Elevated fungal levels are reported for the AHU-04 main supply duct andthe supply duct to the Library. “ Page 9, 7th Paragraph, “These samples indicate the presence offungal activity in the duct liner insulation.”
4. Page 7, last paragraph, Temperature and Relative Humidity — “The temperature readings in thebuilding varied from 70 to 78° during the testing period [April 18 to 25, 2008]. The temperaturerange generally conforms to the ASHRAE heating season comfort range of 69 to 75° F.” [Note:N.J.A.C. 12:100-13.1 (2007) requires that buildings occupied by public employees be maintainedbetween 68 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit.] Page 8, l Paragraph, “Relative humidity levels were in

the range of 29.8 to 40.8%, which is within the ASHRAE comfort range of 30 to 60% [Ref.ANSL’ASHRAE Standard 55].”
The following items were noted because the recommendations by USA for these items could be addressedin conjunction with future HVAC improvements:
1. Page 1, Air Quality Recommendation #1 — “Review condition of the supply duct liners in theAHU-04 ventilation system. Either the affected liners should be replaced or thoroughly cleanedan encapsulated.”
2. Page 1, Air Quality Recommendation #2 — “Consider hard ducting the return ducts to AHU-04,so that the mechanical room no longer serves as a return chamber.”
3. Page 1, 3rd Paragraph, “The paper handling area [in the Library] would benefit from local particlefiltration.” Page 1, Air Quality Recommendation #3 — “Consider local filtration in the paperhandling area of the Library. Local filtration should reduce particulate levels to those that aremore normal in other areas of the building.”
Review of the East Wing Basement Water Intrusion Study prepared by Joseph B. Callaghan, Inc.Consulting EngineersAs requested, EK reviewed the report prepared by JBC dated December 21, 2007. The majority of thisreport focused on the potential source of water infiltration and was concentrated primarily on groundwaterand surface run-off as potential sources of the water infiltration. This investigation was prompted due tothe discovery of mold and corroded metal studs located in the Library (Room B63A) and the StorageRoom B62 (See photo #9). These walls separate the Library and Storage Room from the pipe chase.The pipe chase also serves as a part of the return air system for AH-3, which serves the Committee Room6 located on the f
The following items were noted because the findings by JBC may be related to the HVAC system:

2. Page 6, Conclusions, 3’ Paragraph, “We believe the metal stud corrosion and mold found withinthe storage room and library can be attributed to surface water run-off and infiltration through thefoundation wall under the granite terrace. The stud corrosion pattern within the storage room isindicative of water traveling along the basement floor slab and attacking the metal track. Thismoisture can be a significant contribution to the mold growth in this area.”
3. Page 6, Conclusions, 4th Paragraph, “While we believe the surface run-off and water infiltration isthe primary cause of the metal stud corrosion and mold, there are a variety of environmentalconditions within the basement that may be contributing higher humidity levels.. .Due to thesurrounding topography there may be a significant amount of run-off passing below the basementfloor following rain events or during seasons where ground water is elevated.. .We believe therandom metal stud corrosion generally found above the floor within the pipe chase is fromexcessive humidity levels not water infiltration. Due to the moist conditions and mold growth,we also have a general concern of the pipe chase being used as a plenum for the CommitteeRoom 6 above.”
4. Page 8, Recommendations, Phase I (Interior), Reduce Humidity Levels — “The primary objectiveis to reduce the humidity levels and review the existing air distribution within the east wingbasement. Evaluate the feasibility of dehumidifying the interior space through the central HVACsystem and ramifications of using the pipe chase as a plenum. This work is beyond our expertiseand we recommend retaining a mechanical engineering firm to review this.” [EK has commentedon this item later in the report.]
5. Page 9, Recommendations, Phase ifi (Exterior) — “Note: This work will not remedy the humiditylevels within the mechanical room and pipe chase. See our recommendations within Phase I.”
6. Princeton Hydro Memorandum, Page 1, 3’’ Paragraph, “The interior of the basement did revealevidence of moisture penetrating the walls from the exterior.. .This corrosion [of the metal studs],however, did not appear to be stemming from direct contact with water, but possibly moist airconditions. During this inspection it could not be confirmed that the infiltration of water Wascurrently occurring.”
7. Princeton Hydro Memorandum, Page 3, 2’” Paragraph, “Based on the plans provided by the NJOffice of Legislative Services, there is a downspout located at the area of observed interior mold(library). This downspout, which subsequently is routed via an 8” diameter cast iron pipe alongan interior wall, is evaculated [exits] from the building via a penetration in the foundation wall todischarge to the exterior drainage system. If the integrity of this pipe system is compromised,then moisture could also penetrate the building through this system.”
8. Princeton Hydro Memorandum, Page 3, 3’ Paragraph, “Therefore, there may be a significantquantity of subsurface runoff that passes below the building following storm events or duringseasons where groundwater is elevated near the basement floor. This may be contributing toelevated humidity within the basement. This excessive humidity may be causing the corrosion ofthe galvanized steel studs within the basement walls.
9. Princeton Hydro Memorandum, Page 4, Recommendations, Item #5 — “To mitigate humid aircaused by water intrusion to the basement, a dehumidification system should be installed withinall areas of the basement.”
ConclusionsAH-4 is generally operating as it was originally intended. However, there are several deficiencies withthe system, as follows:
1. Due to the configuration of the return air system, lack of a “hard” ducted connection to the returnof AH-4, no return air fan or exhaust fan, and no dedicated pathway to relieve the “spill” air fromthe building, there is poor air-circulation of the air in the spaces served by AH-4.
Edwards and KelceyArchitectural and Design Services, Inc.
12
HVAC System Investigation and ReportState House Annex, Trenton, NJ
June 23, 2008
2. Because the Mechanical Room is acting as a return air plenum, any fumes in the MechanicalRoom or pulled into the Mechanical Room due to the negative pressurization of the room will bedistributed to the spaces served by AH-4.
3. Due to the location of the outside air intake, there is potential for dust, fumes and debris fromoutside of the building to be to be introduced into the system.
4. Due to the configuration of AH-4, there is currently no way to properly regulate the amount ofoutside air for the system. Because there is no damper on the return, the system is only capableof approximately 50% outside air when the outside air damper is 100% open. Because of this andthe lack of a dedicated pathway to relieve the “spill” air as noted in item #1 above, the systemcannot operate in 100% outside air economizer mode to provide “free” cooling when the indoorand outdoor conditions permit. Also, as the speed of the supply fan changes there is currently noway for the system to measure or regulate the amount of outside air to verify that the minimumventilation requirements are being met.
5. There does not appear to be any indoor or outdoor humidity sensors associated with the system,which could be used to provide control of indoor humidity.
6. The measured air flow rates in the main area of the OLS Library (Room B63) were well belowthe design air flow rates. This is contributing to the poor air circulation within this space.
7. AH-4 is supplying approximately 18% more air than it was originally intended to. This couldresult in the unit not being able to properly cool or dehumidify the air when operating at designconditions. The majority of this excess air is being supplied to the l’ floor level.
8. The discharge static pressure sensor appeared to be out of calibration at the time of the air flowtesting. [It is our understanding that this was subsequently recalibrated by Honeywell.J
9. When the VAV boxes were at their minimum positions, there was an increase of static pressure atthe fan discharge and the discharge static pressure sensor was regulating the speed of the supplyfan (in order to keep the discharge static pressure from exceeding the high static limit) rather thanthe duct system static pressure sensor.
10. Per the Indoor Air Quality Investigation report by USA, there are “Elevated fungi levels for theAHU-04 main supply duct and the supply duct to the Library. . . These samples indicate thepresence of fungal activity in the duct liner.” USA did not identify or discuss the source of thefungi in the ductwork. However, it seems reasonable to assume that the source of the fungiwould be from outside and brought into the system via the outside air intake and settled out of theair stream onto the supply duct liner.
11. Per USA’s report, recorded temperature and humidity levels are within acceptable range. Themeasured humidity levels of 29.8 to 40.8% are on the lower end of the acceptable range.However, these levels are typical of what would be expected during the heating season.
12. Per USA’ s report, particulate levels in the paper handling area of the OLS Library were generallyhigher than the other monitored spaces.
13. The East Wing Basement Water Intrusion Study by JBC at times appears to be slightlycontradictory in its conclusions regarding the cause for the mold and corroded metal studs.However, based on our review of the report, it appears to be evident that the water infiltrationthrough the sub-grade exterior walls was the cause for the mold growth and the corroded metalstuds. The water infiltration also appears to be the source for the “elevated humidity” within thepipe chase. It did not appear that any instrumentation was used by JBC or its subcohsultants tomeasure or record actual humidity levels.
14. Due to the close proximity to the Library and lack of exhaust fan in the elevator machine room,fumes from the elevator machine room may enter the Library area.
15. if it is desired to provide precise environmental control for the special collections in the Library, aseparate area should be allocated for these items when the temperature, humidity and air qualitycan be appropriately controlled.

RecommendationsThe following recommendations are organized into the following categories — “Health, Safety andEnvironment”; “System Operations and Efficiency”; and “Library Application Considerations”. Thisshould assist with prioritization and implementation of the following recommendations.
Heath, Safety and Environment1. As stated in USA’s report, “Review the condition of the supply duct liners in the AHU-4
ventilation system. The liners currently support significant microbial activity downstream fromthe filters. Either the affected liners should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned and encapsulated.”Based on USA’ s visual inspection of the duct liner, it is our understanding that the duct liner is inpoor condition and deteriorating. We recommend that the duct liner in the supply air ductworkon the Basement Level be removed and duct wrap type insulation installed on the exterior of theduct in lieu of installing a new duct liner. Our recommendation to install duct wrap insulation inlieu of replacing the duct liner is for two reasons — 1) Replacing the duct liner would requireremoval and reinstallation of the ductwork and 2) Not reinstalling the duct liner would providefor easier cleaning of the ductwork in the future. Please note that the internal duct liner doesprovide some sound attenuation (noise reduction) from noise generated by the Air Handling Unitand air movement within the ductwork. However, based on the reasons stated, we believeinstallation of the duct wrap is a more feasible solution.Item - Cost EstimateRemove duct liner $10,000.00Clean ductwork $5,000.00Install duct wrap insulation $15,000.00Soft Costs (30%) $9,000.00
Total $39,000.00
2. Rebalance the air flow for the OLS Library (Room B63) to meet the design airflow andventilation rates. This would improve the general air circulation in the main area of the Library.Improved airflow may also reduce the particulate concentrations noted in USA’s report. Therebalance of the airflow for the Library should be performed in conjunction for balancing of theentire systems associated with AH-4 to make sure that the total airflow for the unit does notexceed the limitations of the system components including the heating and cooling coils.Item Cost EstimateTest, Adjusting and Balancing AH-4 $6,000.00
Total $6,000.00
3. Re-evaluate/monitor the particulate levels after re-balancing the airflow in the Library anddetermine if local filtration is still necessary. If determined necessary, a portable type highefficiency air filter may be appropriate. This should e confirmed with USA Environmental.Item - - Cost EstimatePortable High Efficiency Air Filter $2,000.00
Total $2,000.00
4. Regarding the water intrusion and moisture associated with the mold and corroded metal studs, itappears that the primary solution is to improve the waterproofing at the building exterior. As atemporary measure until the waterproofing completed or if water infiltration continues andsubsequent moisture and humidity, we recommend that locaL/portable dehumidifiers be locatedwith in the Mechanical Room where AH-3 is located and in the pipe chase area. The conditionsshould be closely monitored as this pipe chase also serves as the return air plenum for the systemassociated with AH-3.

Relocating the Outside Air Intake to a higher elevation to reduce potential for dust, fumes anddebris from entering the system. It is preferred that the intake be located on the 2’” floor level orhigher with the roof being the ideal location. This would be a preferred solution, although, ameans to relocate the outside air intake could not be easily identified. Due to the architecturaland historical significance of the building, running a duct on the exterior of the building wouldnot be a recommended solution. Routing the outside air intake through the interior of thebuilding would require significant interior renovations as well as disruption to building operationsand occupancy. Extensive design effort would be required to properly estimate the cost torelocate the outside air intake. However, it should be noted that this would be in the hundreds ofthousands of dollars. Another option may be to place additional landscaping stones around themetal grate at grade level to minimize landscaping and lawn maintenance activities directlyadjacent to the outside air intake. The landscaping stone should be placed so that there is aminimum of 10 feet of separation between the intake and the lawn area. An additional optionwould be to install a small decorative wall (at least 24” high) around the areaway to reduce theaccumulation of grass clippings, fertilizers, debris, etc. that may enter the metal grate. Theareaway should be periodically cleaned of any debris and the filters for AH-4 should be changedas part of the routine maintenance operation.Item Cost EstimateRelocate the outside air intake (see above)Landscaping stones and wall $5,000.00
Total $5,000.00
6. Provide a direct “hard” ducted connection from the return air transfer ducts to AH-4. This wouldimprove the air circulation in the areas served by AH-4 and would minimize the potential tocirculate any fumes that might be in the Mechanical Room to the spaces served by AH-4.However, based on the current configuration of the ductwork and existing piping in theMechanical Room, this is not feasible without considerable modifications. Additionally, due tothe clearance limitations within the Mechanical Room, AH-4 may need to be replaced with acustom or semi-custom unit that can be configured to permit the return air connection.Item Cost EstimateDuctwork Modifications $25,000.00Piping Modifications $25,000.00Replacement of AH-4 $100,000.00Soft Costs (30%) $45.000.00
Total $195,000.00
7. In order to further improve air circulation, provide a return air fan, mixed air damper, and exhaustor “spill” air louver with damper. This configuration would be more typical and also is similar tothat for AH-1 and AH-2. This would also provide the proper system configuration foreconomizer cycle operation. If AH-4 is replaced as part of the implementation forrecommendation #6 above, it should be anticipated that based on current code requirements, thesystem would need to be upgraded to include these items to provide a proper means for exhaustand means to operate in an economizer mode. A possible location for the exhaust air louver wasnot identified. Please note that implementation of Recommendation #6 above is a prerequisite tothis item.

Items #6 and #7 above would require significant modifications to the ductwork within theMechanical Room and to AH-4 as well as modifications to the building in order to install anexhaust air louver. If it is determined that this is not feasible due to cost considerations, another,secondary, option would be to provide in-line type transfer air fans in the existing transfer airducts from the Basement Level and l Floor and an exhaust air fan to exhaust the minimumoutside air from the Mechanical Room. However, this option does not address the fact that theMechanical Room is functioning as a return air plenum and the potential to circulate fumes orodors from the Mechanical Room to the spaces served by AH-4.Item Cost Estimate2 Transfer Air Fans $20,000.00Exhaust Air Fan and Louver $50,000.00Soft Costs (30%) $21.000.00
Total $91,000.00
The control of the ventilation would be improved with the addition of an airflow monitoringstation to measure the actual airflow rate of the outside air in order to ensure that the designminimum outside air flow rates are being provided. This is the preferred solution, however, thismay require modification to AH-4 in order to install. Also, if the items listed forrecommendations #6 and #7 are provided, the control of the ventilation would be greatlyimproved and would not necessarily require an airflow monitoring station. Another option wouldbe to install carbon dioxide sensor(s) in the areas of higher occupancy (i.e. the Library) andregulate the outside air damper to maintain acceptable concentration of carbon dioxide. It shouldbe noted that carbon dioxide control is a generally acceptable means for controlling ventilationbased on an indirect measurement of the building occupancy. However, this control strategy doesnot take into consideration odors, material off gassing, VOCs, etc. that may be present within thespace. It may be best to consider using the carbon dioxide control as a secondary means ofventilation control. Meaning that the HVAC control system will measure carbon dioxideconcentration in an area of high occupant concentration and will override the outside air damperset point, if the concentration levels exceed allowable set points.Item Cost EstimateAir Flow Monitoring Station* $10,000.00Carbon Dioxide Ventilation Control $20,000.00

Library Application Considerations11. Based on the temperature and humidity requirements for the general public access libraries, the
HVAC system (AH-4) serving the Library should not be shut off during unoccupied periods, butrather the system continue to operate to maintain the unoccupied set points. As follows:
a. Temperature:i. Winter set point of 70 degrees F (occupied); 60 degrees F (unoccupied)
ii. Summer set point of 75 degrees (occupied); 80 degrees F (unoccupied)(It is our understanding that this operational change can performed by the facilities staff.)
b. Humidity:i. Winter set point of 30% rh
ii. Summer set point 50% rhiii. Allowable Range: 30 to 60% rh (occupied and unoccupied)
Please note that humidity control would require the addition of an indoor humidity sensor asdescribed in recommendation #10 above. It should also be noted that the system in its currentconfiguration does not have the capability to provide humidity control when the system is operatingin the heating mode. It is possible that the space relative humidity may drop below 30% without theaddition of a humidifier. However, it is our opinion that the addition of a humidifier is notrecommended for various reasons — the primary reason being that the Library does not have adedicated HVAC system.
12. The special collections or valuable documents should be physically separated from the generalcollection and stored in a separate room. This space should have a dedicated HVAC system thatcan precisely maintain temperature, humidity and proper air filtration. Due to the range ofpossibilities associated with this item no cost estimated is provided.
Note: Please note that these above cost estimates are order of magnitude, opinion of probable cost only.A detailed scope of work and design would need to be developed in order to prepare a more accurateestimate of construction costs.

* Please note that it may not be feasible to install an airflow monitoring station withoutmodifying or replacing AH-4. This would add significant additional cost. See item #6 abovefor replacement of AH-4.
10. Installation of outdoor and indoor humidity sensors would enable improved humidity control andeconomizer control. This would enable the control system to monitor space humidity and allowthe system to override the temperature set point in order to maintain space humidity at acceptablelevels. This would also enable the control system to operate the economizer cycle based ondifferential enthalpy (measurement of both temperature and relative humidity) rather than simplydry bulb temperature only, which could contribute to inadequate humidity control.

Executive Summary:
An indoor air quality survey was conducted at the New Jersey State House Annex Library and
adjoining spaces. The investigation focused on. the conditions in the Library, the ventilationsystem that serves the Library, and several control spaces. The work included a thoroughevaluation of thermal comfort fresh air ventilation, and chemical and biological contaminantsources. The survey was conducted during the week ofApril 18 to April 25, 2008.
The testing revealed the presence of normal conditions for many of the air quality parameters.
Fresh air ventilation was excellent in all monitored spaces. Normal levels of carbon monoxide,
volatile organic compounds and airborne fUngi were reported. Temperature and relative
humidity were adequate, with only slight temperature elevation in several areas.
Airborne particulate levels were within existing air quality standards in all areas. In the paper
handling area, particulate levels were higher than the other monitored spaces due to the paper
handling activity. The paper handling area would benefit from local particle filtration.
USABMI notes that several particulate peaks and one carbon monoxide peak were recorded in
the AHU-04 mechanical room during the week. Since the room serves as the return chamber for
AHu-o4, it is possible that emissions from the mechanical room and surrounding utility areas
would be distributed to the occupied areas.
Elevated flingal levels are reported for the AHU- 04 main supply duct and the supply duct to the
Library. The fungi results for the carpet, drywall and document samples are all in the normal
range. The low result for the 1779-1780 NJ Archives Vol. TV, where visible mold growth was
observed, is likely because the growth is no longer viable. Non-viable mold can cause V
significant allergic responses in susceptible persons.V
While none of the observed conditions reported above are necessarily related to the reported
symptoms, the conditions may contribute to the symptoms and deserve additional attention.
Based on our inspect on and testing, USAEMI makes the following air quality recommendations:
1. Review the condition of the supply duct liners in the AHU-04 ventilation system. Theaffected liners should be replaced with an exterior insulation wrap.
2. Consider hard ducting the return ducts to AHU-04, so that the mechanical room no longerserves as a return chamber.
3. Consider local filtration in the paper handling area of the Library. Local filtration should
reduce particulate levels to those that are more normal in other areas of the building.
4. Inspect the older documents for visible mold growth and clean as necessary.
USABMI notes that the air quality study continues with long-term monitoring of temperature and
humidity in the paper handling area of the Library. The purpose of this study is to determine
how humidity levels vary overtime with the heating, free cooling and cooling seasons.

Scope of Work:
An indoor air qualitY survey was conducted at the New Jersey State House Annex Librarylocated in Trenton, NJ. The investigation focused on the conditions in the Annex Library, wherecàmplaints of poor air quality have been received, and adjoining spaces. The work includedmonitoring of the comfort parameters and particulates over a full week period in five separatelocations. The work also included air testing for VOC’s, and air and surface testing formicrobiological fungi. The fungal testing was conducted on representative materials includingcarpet, paper documents, ventilation system components and inside wall cavities. The inspectionwas conducted by USA Environmental Management, Inc. (USABMI) representatives David M.Kichula, clii and Matthew Hines during the period ofApril 18 to 25,2008.
Procedures:
General:
The inspection was conducted according to the specifications of the EPA Building Air QualityGuide fur Bui1ipg,Qac,, ISBN-0-16-035919-8, published inDecember, 1991. The EPA document is a practical guide for identifying and correctingpected sources of microhiological amplification, and is based on the industry standard
&ssessment and (ontrol, published by the American Conference of GovernmentalIndustrial Hygienists in 1999. Both guides describe a process of building inspection andevaluation, information exchazge, maintenance review, and problem solving to enhanceoccupant health, comfort and productivity.
Carbon Dioxide:
The levelsofCO2 were determined with a TSJ Q..Trak Indoor Mr Quality Monitor, which wascalibrated against the ambient CO2 level of 300 ppm and a span gas of 2000 ppm concentration.American Society of Healing, Refrigeration and Mr Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)recommends that CO2 levels be maintained below 1000 ppm to ensure occupant comfort. Thefederal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has suggested that CC)2 levelsabove approximatelY 800 ppm may result in minor sensory or respiratory. irritation in sensitiveoccupants, and this level will be referenced in our report. The evaluation of fresh air ventilationthrough the measurement of CO2 levels requires that occupant density is close to the ASHRAE
3
‘p V
presumptive density of 7 occupants per 1000 square feet, and that levels of CO2 are tracked overthe course of the normal work shift to ensure that steady state conditions have been achieved.
Carbon Monoxide:
The levels of carbon monoxide were measured with a TSI Q-Trak Indoor Air Quality Monitor,equipped with a chemical cell detector. The U.S. Environments] Protection Agency hasestablished a primary ambient air quality standard for CO of 9 ppm in outdoor environments.Levels of CO in indoor environments should not exceed this level. In. general, CO levels abovethe ambient concentration of I ppm suggest that exhaust fumes from a combustion source havemigrated to the occupied space, and indicate the need for further investigation.
Temperature and Relative Humidity:
Measurements of temperature and relative humidity were collected with the TSI QTrakTM
Indoor Air Quality Monitor, equipped with digital thermocouple sensors. The ASHRAE
Standard 554981 (Thermal Environmental Conditior for Human Occupancy) recommends a
heating season temperature range of69 to 75°F, and a relative humidity range of 30 to 60%.
Particulates. -
Real time enumeration of airborne particles was obtained with the DUSTRAK Aerosol
Monitor, manufactured by TSI, lflC. The DUSTLRAK is eqiupped with a light-scattering
photometer comprised of a light-emitting diode source in the near infrared light range. The
intensity of light scattered over an optical detector is proportional to the particle concentration.
The DUS1TRAK displays real time results in units of milligrams particulate per cubic meter
of air (mg/rn3).
The particle countS were collected in five locations inside the building on .a continuous basis:
The results were compared to. the EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for
paniculates of 150 tg/na3. Particle counts were considered acceptable if they consistently
remained below the NAAQS.
Airborne Fungi:
Air sampling for microbiological fungi was conducted with a Biotest Centrifugal Sampler,
Model RCS Standard. The sampler directs air by centrifugal force onto strips containing agar
nutrient media. The nutrient media of choice for fungi is the Rose Bengal and Streptomycin
Agar (RBA), prepared by the manufacturer, Biotest AG ofDenvifle, NJ. A measured volume of
air, in this case 160 liters, is drawn over the strips, and the fungal particulates adhere to the agar.
The nutrient strips were sealed and returned to the laboratory, where they were cultured and
incubated. Viable microbial colonies were enumerated by microscopic examination of the
selective agar media. Genus and species identification was performed by examination of
4
morphology, staining properties, and biochemical response to enzyme tests. The airborneconcentrations are reported in units ofcolony-forming units per cubic meter of air (cfulm3).
Surface Fungi
Testing for levels of fungi on surfaces was conducted with the use of the BBL CultureSwab
Collection and Transport System, manufactured by Becton Dickinson in Starks, MD. The swabs
are wetted with the nutrient broth held by the transport sponge, are wiped over a surface area of
approximately one square inch, and are transported to the laboratory sealed against the sponge.
In the laboratory, an aliquot of the broth is plated onto agar media, including Malt Extract Agar
(MBA) for fungi. Viable colonies are enumerated by direct microscopic examination of the
cultured media. The concentrations are reported in units of colony-forming units per square inch
(cfu/in2)for surface samples and cfu per gram (cfulg) for bulk samples.
The fungi analyses were performed by EMLab P&K Microbiological Services located in Cherry
Hill, NJ. EMLab P&K is certified by the New Tersey Department of Environmental Protection
and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA Laboratory No. 100305) for the
analysis ofmicrobiological contRmirnnts in environmental samples.
Volatile Organic Compounds: V
The levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC) were evaluated as total hydrocarbons (THC)
using 3M’s OVM 3520 Badges. Air is passively passed through the badge. The badges were
exposed for approximately 6 hours in the five interior locations. A field blank sample was also
taken outside of the building.
After collection, the samples were sealed, labeled and returned to the laboratory for analysis.
The charcoal sorbent was removed from the badges, desorbed with the solvent carbon disulfide,
and injected onto a gas chroniatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. The THC
compounds were calculated against a series of toluene standards. All results are reported in ‘units
ofpart per million by volume (ppm)
InspectiOIi
The air nonitonflg program in the State House Annex Library (B63) was conducted in response
to chronic complaints of odors, headaches, upper respiratory irritation and nasal congestion by
several employees. The complaints are reported to date to the mid 1990’s, after the Library was
renovated and was reoccupied. The staff were recently relocated after water leakage and mold
activity was discovered on the wall between the paper handling area of the Library and the
adjoining storage Room B63A. The damaged materials were replaced and the staffhad returned
to the Library for approximately six weeks at the time of the air quality survey.
The Library is located in the basement level of the East Wing of the Annex. The East Wing is a
lower level of the basement, approximately five feet lower than the main corridor that connects
5
to the pedestrian Tunnel that leads to the basement level of the State House. The East Wing isbordered by the Main Entrance Courtyard along its west wall and the courtyard between theAnnex and the State House on the east side. The water leakage that affected the Library andStorage Room is presumed to have originated in the Main Entrance Courtyard.
The Library is comprised of an administrative area at the entrance, the stationary stacks along thesouth wall, the rolling stacks and adjacent Carrels area along the north (courtyard) wall, thehistorical alcove in the southwest corner, the Librarian’s Office in the northwest corner, and thepaper handling area in the northeast corner. The spaces are finished similarly, with wall-to-wallcarpet jnstjed over a luan subfloor, drywall walls and suspended acoustical ceiling tiles. Thebooks, pamphlets and newspapers in the Library are largely recent, with the exception of thehistorical alcove and the Librarian’s Office, where documents dating to the 1700’s are stored.Visible mold growth is apparent on some ofthe historical documents.
The paper handling area was monitored for two reasons. As noted above, the area ‘was affected
by the recent water leakage event It was unPOrtant to detemiine whether any residual moldactivity remained in materials that were not replaced, such as drywall and carpet in the adjoiningCarrels area. In addition, a large number of newspapers are routinely handled each morning, andarticles of interest are cut and mounted. Newspapers from the previous 6-8 weeks are stored inpigeonhole cupboards located under the sorting desks. The monitoring was conducted to assessthe mold activity and to evaluate the generation of airborne particulates during the paperhandling process. The paper handling area was one of the five monitoring locations.
The Carrels area and the rolling stacks were of interest because both areas abut the south end of
the courtyard. Walls were opened in each location and samples of carpet and drywall were
sampled for the analysis ofmicrobiological fungi. Air monitoring was conducted in the adjacentadnulnistrative area, where employees spent much of their time.
Two control areas were selected for monitoring. The Office of Public Information B50 was
selected because it shares the same air handi r (AHU-04) but is located on the upper basement
corridor, and so is not at the lower East Wing elevation. Air monitoring was conducted in B50,
and a control sample ofthe carpet was collected. V
Room 101 was selected because it is a l floor space that is served by a different air handler.
The Library staffhad been relocated to Room 101 duringthe recent water leakage event, and no
complaints regarding air quality were recorded during the relocation period. Air monitoring was
conducted in Room 101.
The 5th motoring area was the AHU-04 mechanical room. The AHU-04 serves the library, the
Public Information office suite, and a small area on the 1 floor. The Unit is equipped with a
fresh air intake (located in a pit in the courtyard between the State House and Annex), pleated
filters ahead ofbag filters, separate heating and cooling coils, supply ductwork that is lined with
fiberglass insulation, and unlined return ductwork. The return ductwork terminates at the
mechanical room, and the room is used as a return chamber back to the air handler.
The mechanical room houses a sump that holds standing water and some discarded items
including a section of old carpet Since the room is used as a return chamber, mold activity in
the room was an issue. Monitoringwas conducted in the Al{LJ-04 mechanical room, and surface
6
samples were collected from the heating and cooling coils, the main supply trunk insulation, the
supply duct that serves the Library, and the supply diffuser in the paper handling area.
In mary, monitoring was conducted in the Library paper handling area, Libraryadministration area, AHU-04 mechanical room, Room B-SO and Room 101. The comfort
(carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, temperature and relative humidity) andparticulates were monitored on a continuous basis from April 18 to April 25, 2008 in each
location. Air samples for microbiological fimgi and volatile organic compounds were coUected
in the same locations. Air samples for fungi were collected outside the building for comparison
r)ulvoses. Surface samples for fungi were collected from the various air handling components
and building finishes as noted above.
Results:
The fungi testing results are presented in Table L The results are reported in units of colonyfonnijig units per cubic meter of air (cfuhn3)for the air samples, cfu per square inch (cfu/in2)for
the surface samples, and efu per gram (cfu/g) for the bulk samples. The dominant taxa are also
included in Table 1, so that the population diversity of the samples can be evaluated. The Report
ofResults by EMLab P&K Microbiological Services is enclosed in Appendix A.
The comfort pB15IfleteT and part ciilate results are summarized in Table II. In the five locations,..
the monitoring was conducted for an extended period so that steady state conditions were
achieved. The average, minimum and maximum readings are included in Table U. The statistics
report and real time graphs are enclosed in Appendix B.
The volatile organic compound results are summarized in Table UI. The report of analysis by
Integrated AnalYtical Laboratories LLC is enclosed in Appendix A.
Discussion:
Carbon Monoxide:
The data indicate that levels of CO were in the range of the detection limit of I ppm. The CO
results are very low and are well below the EPA guideline of 9 ppm. The results indicate that
exhaust fumes from combustion sources did not migrate to and were not detected in the building.
Carbon Dioxide:
The average C02 levels ranged from 375 to 455 ppm in the areas monitored. The CO2 levels
remained consistentlY below 1000 ppm in the occupied spaces. The results indicate that the fresh
air ventilation is sufficient in the monitored spaces.
7
.9
Temperature and Relafive flumidity:
The temperature readings in the building varied from 70 to 78°F during the testing period. The
temperature range generally conforms to the ASHRAE heating season comfort range of 69 to
75°F. Slight temperature elevation is seen in the library paper handling and. airninistration
areas, and in Room B-50, compared to the cooler temperatures that were recorded in Room 101.
The t perature elevation is likely due to thermostat settings. Lower thermostat settings will
likely result in inure comfortable occupancy conditions.
Relative humiditY levels were in the range of 29.8 to 40.8 %, which is within the ASHRAE
comfort range of 30 to 60%. The ASRRAE standard is designed to not only provide thermal
comfort but to avoid biological growth inside the building. Lower temperature settings during
the heating seasOfl will result in higher relative humidity levels and more comfortable conditions.
Particulates:
As shown in Table II, the average particle count samples in the monitored areas are in the range
of 7 to 32 ighn3. These results are very low, well within the EPA National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) of 150 ig/m3. The particle counts in occupied areas are within normal
ranges, and reflect the modest dust generation caused by the movement of people, equipment and
paper in the monitored areas.
In the paper handling area, particulate levels were generally higher than the other monitored
spaces. The average particulate level was 0.032 mg/rn3,compared to the average range of 0.009
to 0.018 mg/rn3 for the other areas. The particulate levels increased to as high as 0.125 mg/rn3
(averaged over three minutes) during the day shift activities. While the particulate levels
remained below the NAAQS atall times, it is likely that the paper handling area would benefit
from local particle filtration to reduce levels during typical activities.
We note that several particulate peaks were recorded in the AHU-04 mechanical room during the
week, with the highest occurring at-7 am on April 23. This peak corresponds to acarbon
monoxide peak at the same time. This likely reflects some maintenance activity in the
mechanical rooni. Since the room serves as the return chamber for AHIJ-04, it is possible that
emissions from the mechanical room would be distributed to the occupied areas.
Volatile Organic Compounds:
The VOC data summarized in Table ifi indicate substantially normal concentrations of the total
hydrocarbons (THC). The total VOC concentrations are in the range of 0.36 to 0.57 ppm and
reflect acceptably low concentrations. The highest VOC concentration is reported for the field
blank sample. The results demonstrate that VOC are not present in appreciable concentrations in
the office spaces that were monitored.
8
Microbiological Fungi:
There are currently no widely accepted industry standards for acceptable concentrations ofmicroorganisms, and there are several reasons lbr this. Fungi occur commonly in nature, sincemicrobes provide the final decomposition of many organic waste materials such as plant andanimal debris. In addition, individual response to microbial levels is a function of sensitivity,
winch can range from no effect to significant allergic discomfort in thc typical buildingpopulation. As a result, it is virtually impossible to predict whether exposure to a givenconcentration ofmicrobial species will elicit a response in a given individuaL
The evaluation of hazard in the indoor environment is a process of comparing concentrations inan area of concern to ambient levels found in non-problem areas or outdoors. The airborne
levels of fungi inside a building should be similar to those on the outside, and should not causeirritation or discomfort in most people. Levels that are significantly higher than the normal
outdoor range, which can seasonally range up to 1,000 cfu/m3,may indicate a local source ofcontamination. In addition, microbial populations that include the presence of a dominant genus
that is not dominant in natural settings also suggest that local contamination. is present
Surface concentrations are evaluated on an order-of magnitude -basis. Fungi occur naturally and
their presence up to several thousand colonies per square inch or gram is unremarkable in a
normal building. Surface levels substantially higher suggest that contamination is present. Thedistribution of organisms in the population is important, especially if one or two genera havebecome dominant that are not dominanf in natural settings. . . -
The ar sample results from April 21, 2008, are reported in the range of 25 to 50 cfuhn3. The
results are low and Compare favorably with the outside concentration of 113 cfu/m3. Thedominant genus is Cladosporium, which is also present in the outside sample.
The samples collected on April 22, 2008, during the handling of the papers in the morning are
reported in the range of 6 to 31 cfu/m3. The sam,1e results are also very low and compare
favorably with the outside sample results of90 cfu/m.
The bulk fungi results for carpet samples collected in the Carrels area, rolling stacks, historical
alcove and Room B-SO are reported with no growth.
The surface fungi results for drywall samples collected in the Carrels area and rolling stacks are
also reported with no growth, except for one colony Of Aspergillus in the Carrels courtyard wall.
The surface fungi results for document samples are reported in the range of <10 to 50 cfuJin2.
The results are very low. This low result is surprising for the 1779-1780 NJ hjves Vol. W,
where visible mold growth was observed on the back cover. It is possible that the growth is old
and no longer viable, and could not be cultured in the laboratory. It is important to realize that
even non-viable mold colonies can cause significant allergic responses in susceptible persons.
The surface fungi results for ventilation components are reported in the range of 10 to 86,000
cfuiin2. Elevated fungal levels are reported for the AHU-4 main supply duct (86,000 cfu/in2)and
the AHIJ-4 supply duct to the Library (17,200 cfiu/in2). These samples indicate the presence of
fungal activity in the duct liner insulation.

Conclusion:
Based on our inspect on and testing, we make the following air quality recommendations:
1. RevieW the condition of the supply duct liners in the AHU-04 ventilation system. The
liners currently support significant microbial activity downstream from the filters. Either
the affected liners should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned and encapsulated.
2. Consider hard ducting the return ducts to AHU-04, so that the mechanical room no longer
serves as a return chamber. This should minimize the potential for odors and
contaminants in the mechanical room to become entrained in the ventilation system.
3. Consider local filtration in the paper handling area of the Library. Local filtration should
reduce particulate levels to those that are more normal in other arças ofthe building.
4 Inspect the older documents for visible mold growth and clean as necessary.
usAEMi notes that the air quality study continues with long-term monitoring of temperature and
humidity in the paper handling area of the Library. The purpose of this study is to determine
how humidity levels vary over time with the heating, free cooling and cooling seasons.

Executive Summary:
An indoor air quality survey was conducted at the New Jersey Stat House Annex. Theinvestigation focused on monitoring of temperature and relative humidity in the Library on a
substantially continuous hans for 10 weeks. 11w ,messuremI1 were collected om April 24 to
AugUst 5, 200$. The purpose ofthis study was to deternilne how hmnfdhy levels vary over time
with thecatg, free cooling and cooling seasons in the Library.
wnnpezature reedflngs In the building varied fiom 70.5 to 74.8 °F during the testing period.
The temperature ranges recorded in May and June generally conform to the ASHRAE heating
and flee cooling comfort ranges as described above As the cooling season progressed, thetemperaturCs e”d in this same range, appauUy due to thermostat settings desired by the
library staff. The ASHRAE standard recommends a hghrr temperature range (74 to 79 0p)
during the cooling season to avoid over cooling and increased humidity levels. The recorded
temperatures during Sub’ and August were below the ASHRAE comfort range.
pattjve humidity levels e recorded in the range of 22.0 ‘to 69.0 %. Not surprisingly, the
lower humidity levels were recorded In May and eaiiy June, when some bthig and free cooling
likely occurred. As the cooling season progressed, the relative humidity levels sfradily
increased. There wu several days, Including June 28 and 29 and July 4,5,6,7,20, and 2lwhen
the humidity levels increased and remained above 60%. ‘
m iRAE stIRrd is designed to provide not only thermal comfort but to avoid biologbool
growth inside the buiIdiflg, i ildity levels below 60% ‘will not support mold growth. n the
Library, the average himiidity fur all of the monitored weeks was below 60%. The number of
days that saw iuiions above 60% suggs that further evaluation is warranted. 11w elevation
may be due pailially to overcooling and partially to iefflcient dehumidification.. In addition, we
were recently informed that the States Mechenical Specialists recommended the installation of a
ew Air HwylHng unit (AlIT) with re-heat coils, this option may assist in the resolution of the
elevated hiarnidity Levels.
The operating efficiency ofthe air hndIing system should be further reviewed to determine the
efficiency of the dehmidification process to ensure the ASHRAE standards noted above are

New Jersey State HousePROJECT: Capital Complex/Annex SYSTEM:AH-4
We were not able to read outlets off of Microcell 59, 61, 62and 71 VAV boxes, due to ceiling height being approximately 20 feetabove finished floor. However, we were able to traverse the duct forFirst Floor VAV boxes and give a total CFM for VAV boxes at minimumand maximum.
AH—4 has a return inlet that pulls air from the mechanicalroom. There are transfer ducts into the mechanical room from the basement and first floor levels. The areas served by AH-4 have deficientreturn from these spaces due to no ducted return duct back to AH-4.
When AH-4 outside air damper opens to 100%, it is not truly100% of outside air. There is no damper that closes the return airopening on AH-4. Outside air damper must be almost 100% just toachieve the minimum outside air of 3600 CFM.
Another concern is the high static reading at AH-4 dischargeduct when all boxes were at minimum. It is possible that static pressure sensors are out of calibration. Computer was reading ÷2.5” atunit and we were reading ÷3.11’s at unit.
With all VAV boxes at minimum, AH-4 was running at 47.3 hertz.The actual unit total CFM traverse was 4896 CFM. The actual CFM tofirst floor traverse was 3612 CFM, which means the actual CFM to basement was 1284 CFM. The static pressure was ÷3.11 at discharge of unit.
With all VAV boxes at maximum, AH-4 was running at 60 hertz.The actual unit total CFM traverse was 10,098 CFM. This is 118% abovedesign total CFM for AH-4. The actual CFM to first floor traverse was6972 CFM, which means the actual CFM to the basement was 3126 CFM.The static prewsure was +1.64 at discharge of unit.
