Indoor Air Quality

Energy-efficient buildings are more airtight and therefore hold greater potential for indoor air quality problems, especially if not properly ventilated. Building products can contribute to poor air quality, but selecting materials lower in chemicals and toxins, and installing mechanical ventilation systems to ensure an adequate fresh air supply can reduce these potential problems.

Successful implementation depends, in large measure, on establishing standards and then auditing those standards throughout the building process.
