In recent years indoor air quality has surfaced as a topic of concern. There are several factors that contribute to indoor air quality:
- Tighter buildings for energy conservation
- Fresh air reduction for energy conservation
- Interior fabrics that are less sanitary than hard floors
- Interior duct insulation
- Mold/mildew due to marginal quality roofs
Facilities Management responds to suspected indoor air quality inquiries by making the appropriate arrangements with a qualified firm to:
- Identify the source of the problem
- Perform lab tests
- Take remedial action as required
