Ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ) means everyone breathes a little easier: occupants who experience improved health, comfort and productivity, and owners who see increased building value and reduced risk.
New guidance for achieving enhanced IAQ is available from five leading building industry associations and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The associated book and CD provide strategies needed to achieve good IAQ using proven technologies and without significantly increasing costs.
“The health and comfort of buildings occupants is too important to leave IAQ as an after-thought in design, construction and operation,” said Andrew Persily, Ph.D., and chair of the committee that wrote the new guidance. “There is plenty of experience out there to help avoid IAQ problems in buildings, allowing all of us to breathe a little easier.”
