Enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality |

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is most simply described as the conditions inside a building. It does not refer to the air quality alone, but the entire environmental quality of a space, which includes air quality, access to daylight and views, pleasant acoustic conditions, and occupant control over lighting and thermal comfort. Americans spend a majority of their time indoors; not surprisingly, studies have shown an increase in worker productivity when improvements are made to a space’s IEQ. Building managers and operators can increase the satisfaction of building occupants by including thoughtful IEQ details in the design and operation of a space. |
