Seminar 14 -- LIVESTREAM: Challenges of Defining an IEQ Metric(s) for Development of an IEQ Standard PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

ASHRAE’s Mid-Strategic plan second initiative area calls for the development of a standard addressing air quality, thermal environment, light, sound and vibration in an integrated way. Guideline 10 may be the start to the development of this IEQ Standard; however, what is missing to development and IEQ Standard is a metric to determine the success of meeting the standard. Ideally such a standard and metric(s) would sustain and possibly improve the health of the building occupants so should this metric(s) be health-based. This seminar discusses the challenges of defining an IEQ metric(s).
