In Unit 5 we will examine Effective IEQ Communication. Communication to, among, and from building occupants is crucial for IEQ programs to succeed. Without the full cooperation of affected facility occupants, IEQ programs are destined to fail. Even worse is the potential for energy excess (expense) in the interim.

Previously in Unit 4 – Preventing IEQ Problems, we examined:

- Good IEQ Practices To Acquire
- Bad IEQ Practices To Avoid
- The Essentials Elements of IEQ Programming
- IEQ Networking (with fellow professionals)

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.
