La qualité de l'air intérieur pour les travailleurs entassés dans un espace [...] restreint peut être compromise parce que le taux d'occupation de l'immeuble peut être trop élevé pour les capacités du système de chauffage, de ventilation et de conditionnement d'air (CVCA) prévus pour cet espace. [...] La composante de l'air de reprise du système CVCA desservant chaque zone de construction doit être fermée ou scellée pour éviter que les émanations et la poussière de la construction ne se retrouvent dans les zones qui ne sont pas en construction sur l'étage de l'immeuble. 1, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20chauffage%2C%20de%20ventilation%20et%20de%20conditionnement%20d%27air
