> Temperature> IAQ
- Pollutants- Ventilation and
filtering- Odors - Humidity control
> Layout and design features- Open layouts- Views- Ergonomics

5-4
> Cleanliness> Cleaning products> HVAC> Mechanical rooms> Chemical storage,
janitorial areas, labs> Moisture> Carpeting
> Pest control> Tenant and resident
“home” remedies> Outside pollution sources> Fresh air intakes and
exhausts> Siting issues

loading docks> Smoking policy> Integrated Pest
Management (IPM)> Noise reduction> Mats> Plants
Slide header copyTenant and Resident Education
5-8
> Information on pollutants, sources, and steps to reduce
> Information about IAQ testing> Form IEQ team> Survey tenants and residents
- Several IEQ factors a matter of perception
> Flexibility> Refer tenants to consultants for build-outs> Align your IEQ program with tenants’
Slide header copyMeasuring Results
5-9
> Continual assessment of IEQ program
> Regular IAQ checks and tests- Identify and correct abnormalities
> Justify further expenditures with results- Improved IAQ test results- Higher tenant and resident satisfaction

Variable frequency drive
Causes health problems, especially in children, if ingested
Daylighting Add to ventilation fans to increase energy efficiency
Formaldehyde Prevent repetitive stress injuries
Biopesticides Off-gas less pollutants when used in TI and renovation projects
ASHRAE Standard 62.1
Enables technicians to provide appropriate ventilation rates for good IAQ
Lead Involves the optimization of natural light and minimization of artificial light
Low-VOC materials Control pests through natural means
Ergonomics Present in pressed-wood products and other building materials
