Indoor Air Quality
People spend around 90% of their time on indoor activities, including working, sleeping, eating, reading, etc. and, therefore, the quality of the indoor environment has great impact on human health and well-being.
The term IAQ is defined as the characteristic of the indoor climate of a building, including the gaseous composition, temperature, relative humidity, and airborne contaminant levels (human bio-effluents, chemicals). The indoor air likely contains harmful chemicals such as volatile organic content (VOCs), formaldehyde, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and particulate matters (PM 2.5/PM 10).
Occupants in poorly designed or regularly maintained mechanically ventilated buildings may suffer sick building syndrome. The symptoms include eye, nose or throat irritation, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, difficulty in concentration, dry skin, rashes, irritability, nasal congestion, etc. Study also shows that children and elderly are more vulnerable to air pollutants. Better design, audit and regular maintenance of ventilation systems help to ensure good IAQ. Meanwhile, collecting indoor air samples and analyzing them in a scientific laboratory is the most effective way to identify and benchmark actual IAQ, after construction or during occupancy.
What is GEES CP IAQ ?
GEES CP IAQ stands for Green Environment & Energy Saving Certified Professional in Indoor Air Quality. This certification program is accredited by the Academy of Intelligent Building Certification (AIBC), an organisation committed to help standardize and promote the terms, definitions and best practices used by the intelligent and green building industry in Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific Region and certified by UL Environment (ULE), which is a worldwide leading organization in certification and validation.
