The Healthy Efficient New Gas Homes (HENGH) study is gathering field data from new California homes that use natural gas and are built to 2008 Title 24 standards. Mechanical ventilation is required, so that the reduction in air infiltration and duct leakage needed to save energy will not result in negative health impacts due to decreased dilution of indoor pollutants with outdoor air. This presentation describes results from two research efforts leading to the field study: (1) an online survey with questions about ventilation and IAQ, and (2) a pilot test in two new homes that have mechanical ventilation.
