Building professionals are charged with maintaining healthy built environments. With the flux of tenants and occupants, there is a constant flow of materials being moved in and out of a facility. These facility materials may be in the form of renovation construction materials or technology equipment. Often, materials arrive with possible unknowns and unintended consequences. In this session, you will learn the basic chemistry behind how common indoor air pollutants behave. Understanding this basic behavior will help you manage the air quality in the built environment. Knowing which products will off gas over a short time period versus which will accumulate in dust over the duration of their lifespan will have significant implications for mitigation strategies. Understanding how real-world conditions will impact the products in a space is essential to crafting your design, construction and operation plans. Toolkits and mitigation strategies will be shared with you to put into practice knowledge gained.
