This training course provides an overview of the background, scope, and features of BS 40102-1. This standard offers guidelines for monitoring and reporting IEQ and well-being in occupied buildings.
The new BS 40102 Part 1 sets out a code of practice for evaluating, monitoring and measuring IEQ in non-domestic buildings. This training course is designed to cover:
- The present need for such a Standard.
- Basic principles around IEQ and why it is important to owners, renters, managers and users of buildings.
- Basic understanding of IAQ – the main pollutants, their sources, their potential effects on the health, well-being and performance of building occupants;typical ways of improving IAQ.
- Basic understanding of thermal comfort, including the relationship between temperature and humidity.
- Ventilation and its importance for good IAQ and thermal comfort.
- Basic understanding of lighting quality (good and bad), its bearing on occupants and the tasks they undertake within a building.
- Basic understanding of soundscape quality (good and bad), and its bearing on occupants and the tasks they undertake within a building.
- The importance of good maintenance regimes within a building.
- The link between physical monitoring of IEQ and occupant feedback through surveys/questionnaires.
