Sub-Title | The ‘Five Horseman’ of IEQ
Content
IEQ, more comprehensively, is about what we breathe, see, hear, and feel inside a building. IEQ includes IAQ as well as other physical and psychological aspects of life indoors. IEQ is a measure of multiple aspects of an indoor environment on human health and performance, including:

- indoor air quality,
- lighting,
- visual quality,
- acoustics,
- thermal comfort.

Indoor Environmental Quality is a critically important credit category in the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system. The largest components of IEQ (IAQ, thermal comfort, and lighting) are greatly enhanced by a Building Automation System.
