Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Version 3 This section of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) focuses on improving indoor air quality as well as providing access to natural daylight and views, and improving acoustics. Indoor Environmental Air Quality (IEQ) simply refers to the quality of the air in an office or other building environments. Indoor environments are highly complex and building occupants may be exposed to a variety of contaminants from office machines, cleaning products, construction activities, carpets and furnishings, perfumes, water-damaged building materials, microbial growth, insects, and outdoor pollutants. Other factors such as indoor temperatures, relative humidity, and ventilation levels can also affect how individuals respond to the indoor environment. Preventing IEQ problems is generally much less expensive than identifying and solving them after they occur. There are plenty of ways to improve IEQ, and with joint efforts of the owner, building design team, contractors and suppliers, it becomes more than possible. There are 15 credits with 15 possible points available: |
