Course Outline:

The energy crisis of the 1970’s had a drastic effect on the design and operating philosophy of modern building ventilation systems. Many buildings were designed to limit the amount of outside air introduced into the building. Others are operated to minimize air exchange to control heat loss and the costs associated with conditioning the building air. Poor design, operation and maintenance can result in stale, polluted or foul indoor air.

The impact of poor air quality on comfort, health and occupant attitudes often results in dissatisfaction and loss of productivity and revenue. The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) seminar will provide information to help meet occupants increasing expectations for satisfactory air quality in the indoor environment.
