Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of the air and environment inside buildings, based on pollutant concentrations and conditions that can affect the health, comfort, and performance of occupants. Factors affecting air quality include:
- Temperature
- Relative humidity
- Light
- Sound
- Office space design
- Occupancy load
- Heat generating equipment
Mold and bacteria growth indoors is a major contributor to “Sick building Syndrome” (SBS), which is identified as a wave of chronic illness among building inhabitants. Components of your building system such as your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and building envelope can also have a negative impact on air quality.
