      Architects design buildings to provide people safe, healthy, and productive places to live and work. Understanding how a building breathes is essential. Review the principles of good indoor air quality (IAQ) to improve indoor environments and reduce risks common to IAQ problems.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss the health effects of and how building design affects IAQ
• Review principles of IAQ and how to incorporate them into the design process
• Identify available tools for setting and achieving IAQ goals.
