Value
- Building off I1.0b – Owner or landlord informs, tenant manages IAQ, tenants should implement corrective actions identified in the IAQ assessment to maintain the indoor air quality at the building
- Regularly follow-up with tenants to ensure that corrective actions are implemented. Poorly maintained systems in tenant spaces can impact other building areas and negatively affect other occupants
Description
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is achieved through the selection of appropriate and achievable air quality goals, regular surveillance and testing to verify HVAC performance and hygiene, efficient and effective procedures for addressing occupant IAQ concerns, and adequate training for the building management team.
The owner or landlord can play an important role in supporting tenants in determining appropriate and achievable air quality goals, conducting regular surveillance and testing to verify HVAC performance and hygiene, advise on efficient and effective procedures for addressing occupant IAQ concerns, and encourage adequate training for the tenant space management team.
