Indoor Environmental Quality – Field Results Inform Operational Practices
If you attended SBX 2023, you know that this elite panel discussed some of the cutting-edge investigations into how the indoor environment affects human health, productivity, and well-being and the necessity for real building data on a variety of indoor air markers. SBX 2024 is pleased to bring back this group of internationally recognized experts to report on their progress in obtaining real building data and how that information can help building owners and operators provide healthy and productive indoor environments.
Indoor Environmental Quality
While the Covid pandemic certainly shined a bright light on the importance of healthy indoor environments, creating and maintaining indoor environmental quality has a pre-Covid history and a post-Covid challenge. The ROI of health and comfort conditions is expressed in employee recruitment, retention, and productivity. This session will explore the lessons learned from this reinvigorated focus on healthy indoor air and technologies that were deployed during the pandemic and their measured or perceived benefits.
