CO detectors

John R. Hall

ASHRAE decided to leave out a requirement for smoke detectors in it's discussion of Standard 62.2P in Chicago last week. I guess the session was pretty lively, according to our editor. We'll have more on it later.

You mean CO

detectors ...right John.

Too bad but I understand their dilema. We need better and more reliable detectors and procedures to go with them. I feel it is up to all of us on a local level to educate.

The threee TV stations here locally do not feel this is a subject that needs to be addressed at this time. One actually said let us wait for the next incident and we will maybe do a feature when it is NEWS WORTHY.

They suggested Public Access. My experince with those is that everyone blanks those out on their channel surfing system.

Thanks for correcting me Timmie, it was a looooong five days in Chi-town. Glad to see that some municipalities are taking CO detector requirements into their own hands. I've been getting great feedback on the article. Thanks again!
