As more homes are weatherized, indoor air quality (IAQ) becomes more of a concern. In this session we will address the essential elements of IAQ, including controlling pollutant sources and reducing pollutants with ventilation (ASHRAE 62.2). Additionally, we will discuss the important topics of combustion sources of pollution and moisture control.

 

Learning Objectives:

• List the basic elements of acceptable indoor air quality
• Describe methods of controlling sources of indoor air pollution
• Know when and how to reduce indoor air pollution with ventilation, air cleaning, and filtration
