This course discusses indoor air pollutants, their sources, effects on human body, and ways of control. Good indoor air quality (IAQ) is a key aspect of sustainable design. The goal of IAQ is to effectively use design solutions that promote the best quality indoor air, maximizing the well-being of the occupants through minimizing airborne contaminants.
Through the concept of IAQ, indoor air pollutants and their effects will be addressed, as well as guidelines on IAQ, and how to maintain good IAQ.
