Building-related factors to consider in indoor air quality evaluations
1Spaul Environmental, Inc., Thonotosassa, FL 33592-9791.
Abstract:
Many factors should be considered in an indoor air quality (IAQ) evaluation, and many of these factors are interactive. This article identifies building-related factors that may contribute to IAQ problems. Sixty percent of IAQ problems are related to ventilation and 30% result from air contamination, 20% from inside the building and 10% from outside the building. The remaining 10% are due to miscellaneous other causes (ref. 1). Specific problem areas for each of these categories are discussed in this article. Elements of a proactive management style are also discussed, because management styles can influence how an IAQ episode is handled or prevented.
