Indoor air quality (IAQ) is the first—and arguably most critical—topic within the broader concept of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), which includes thermal comfort, acoustics, and lighting. This session introduces a structured approach to IAQ planning in residential design, tailored for Pennsylvania’s climate and construction practices.
Using the IAQ Guide and Checklist for Architects, participants will learn how to assess occupant health needs, identify pollutant sources, and integrate ventilation, filtration, and material choices into the design process.
The session emphasizes practical strategies to promote healthier, safer, and more comfortable living environments while aligning with sustainability and wellness priorities.
Free to attend; $25 for continuing education credits, including 1.0 PA L&I Contact Hour, 1 PDH for engineers in Pennsylvania, 1.0 AIA LU|HSW, 1.0 ICC Contact Hour (0.1 CEU).
