	Course: Indoor Air Quality — IAQ Sustainability is becoming the main focus of our time, receiving global attention and causing a paradigm shift in design approaches. 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 all occupants through minimizing airborne contaminants. Understanding and practicing good IAQ benefits your business, your clients and the environment. Most of the building industry is not yet up to speed on these issues. Understanding them provides you and your design business tremendous competitive advantages as well as the potential to make important contributions to this relatively new industry as it evolves. What You Will Learn In this course you will learn what indoor air quality entails, including the benefits of good IAQ and the consequences of poor IAQ. You will learn the three sources of contaminants and green strategies to prevent them. You will learn that good indoor air quality incorporates materials selection and contaminant source control, isolation, and dilution. You will learn about standards that are currently being developed in the industry. You will learn green strategies and guidelines including why your choices in implementing them are critical to the well-being of your clients and the environment. At the End of this Course You Will be Able to: • Define IAQ and related commonly used terms. • Recognize the key issues of good IAQ. • Understand the benefits, consequences and goals of IAQ. • Practice implementing green strategies for healthier IAQ.
