Who does the ANSI_AARST SGM-SF radon mitigation standard apply to?

The ANSI_AARST SGM-SF radon mitigation standard specifically applies to residential structures, particularly those that are up to three stories in height. This standard is designed to guide the mitigation of radon in homes where the potential risks posed by high radon levels are significant. This focus on residential structures helps ensure that the strategies for decreasing radon levels are tailored specifically to the complexities and characteristics associated with homes, such as foundation types, size, and occupancy patterns.

In contrast, other structures such as commercial buildings, multi-family complexes, or taller residential buildings might have different requirements or standards that are better suited to their unique characteristics and regulatory needs. The specific limit of three stories ensures that the standard is applied effectively where most residential concerns lie, as taller structures may require different approaches or additional factors to be considered in their radon mitigation strategies.
