Indoor air quality and ventilation /
This guide presents an overview of indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings, and outlines how IAQ impacts on occupants health and performance. Ideally the surrounding environment and facilities in a particular space should provide healthy conditions in terms of sufficient fresh air, low pollution conce...
