Elevating indoor air quality with research, innovation, and collective action

Access to clean air is essential for human health, productivity and comfort. While many builders, owners, facilities managers, and their service providers invest significant resources to achieve safe, satisfactory air quality in spaces where people work, sleep, learn, and play, others may not prioritize or understand measures to improve indoor air. This can lead to disparities in the quality of indoor air among different geographies and demographics. Moreover, most buildings’ indoor air quality (IAQ) remains invisible until a problem or complaint prompts a reactive assessment. Join us to learn how USGBC is working with its research and policy partners and communities of practice to expand indoor air quality performance verification and proactive resilience planning in buildings, expanding on our work to promote and scale foundational IAQ strategies.

Live attendance at this session is eligible for 1 GBCI CE Hour – General.
