Abstract
The awareness of climate change has led to many energy-related changes in
building behavior and space conditioning systems. Unfortunately, these changes often
led to the degradation of indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential construction. In an effort
to improve IAQ, a design guideline was developed for homeowners in the Mojave
Desert. A case study designed for the U.S. Department of Energy, Race to Zero
Student Design Competition was used to develop the design guideline. The design
guideline and compilation of codes and standards that affect both IAQ and space
conditioning shall be used in tandem by Mojave Desert homeowners to ensure adequate
IAQ.
