(Optional) Explore design choices that can affect indoor air quality (IAQ) for a proposed building project.

Exploration should include

  • minimum ventilation requirements
  • occupation density of building
  • air filtration, including smoking control
  • interior materials (e.g., paint and stain finishes, adhesives, flooring products). 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are common sources of indoor air pollutants?
  • What is a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, and how does it improve IAQ?
