Indoor Air Quality Training

Expand your knowledge of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) with our industry-leading training and expertise.

The indoor environment has a big impact on public health. With most people spending about 80% to 90% of their time indoors, in homes, workplaces and other enclosed settings, it is critical to maintain good indoor environmental quality (IEQ).

In fact, a growing body of evidence shows that healthier buildings can not only enhance the health and wellbeing of occupants but also reduce operational costs and liability for building owners.

Indoor environmental quality is an indicator of the quality of conditions inside a building, encompassing factors such as air quality (IAQ), thermal comfort, lighting, and noise.

Poor indoor environmental quality is detrimental to people’s wellbeing and comfort and has the potential to cause a range of health effects. It can adversely impact performance at work, learning in education establishments and healing in healthcare settings.

Building occupants may be exposed to a variety of organic, inorganic and biological pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, VOCs, ozone and mould. Such pollutants can cause harmful consequences and require appropriate control strategies.

With growing concerns over the impact of poor indoor environments, improving IEQ is a priority for the built environment. Managing indoor environmental quality is essential for stakeholders such as employers, local authorities, landlords and developers, and in settings such as offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, universities, and shopping centres.

BRE Academy’s IEQ training helps professionals understand and apply these principles in practice.
