According to the U.S. EPA, Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors.
Indoor air quality plays an important role in people’s health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Living Future Institute, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and International WELL Building Institute require indoor air quality testing in their standards as part of building commissioning to ensure that HVAC equipment is performing as intended and that no airborne toxins are present. Adding indoor air quality to your commissioning checklist is an easy way to safeguard the health and comfort of your building occupants.
