Value
- Construction and renovation projects can cause extra particulates and contaminants to enter the air. This can negatively affect indoor air quality (IAQ). Extra precautions should be taken to preserve a healthy and safe indoor environment for building occupants
- Building off I4.0 – IAQ Management in Construction, create a tenant construction manual detailing control measures to manage negative IAQ effects from tenant construction activities
- This prevents tenant renovation and construction activities from affecting the IAQ of tenant areas and surrounding spaces
Description
Specific guidelines must be in place for base-building or tenant renovations and construction projects to ensure that contaminants are not released into the surrounding interior environment and building indoor air quality (IAQ) is maintained.
Tenants, their contractors or sub-contractors performing renovation or construction work in a building may be required to follow SMACNA IAQ guidelines as directed by the owner or landlord.
