Joint Effort to Improve IAQ in Buildings

EPA is collaborating with leading professional organizations to provide advanced indoor air quality (IAQ) design guidance for the building industry. Initiated through an EPA - funded cooperative agreement with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and formalized with a memorandum of understanding, this collaboration includes ASHRAE, EPA, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International, the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This collaboration includes the development of a book and a professional development course on an integrated process for achieving improved IAQ in all elements of a building which are expected to be available in 2009.
