Content
In Unit 7 we will examine Maintaining IEQ Alongside Building Operations (green products, green services, etc.). Understanding the Building Operations’ use of green products/services and their influences on the indoor environment is crucial to a successful IEQ.

Previously in Unit 6 – Outdoor Environmental Influences, we examined:

- Outdoor Air Supply;
- Outdoor Air Quality & Building Ecology (including Sick Building Syndrome);
- Minimizing Outdoor Air Introduction (for the right reasons);
- Capture & Exhaust (vs. Whole Building) Ventilation;
- Adjusting Indoor Carbon Dioxide Levels

High performing buildings are more efficient, with less rejected energy and other direct and indirect forms of basic energy waste. Such savings cannot be at the expense of human comfort, safety, etc. Resulting efficiencies and savings must be real and tangible, and sub sequentially mean lower operating cost and appropriate maintenance.
