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 ?

YY

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.

The candidate for GEES CP IAQ is required to attend a total of 27-hour in classroom and laboratory training and 2-hour examination for accreditation. GEES CP IAQ holder is authorized to perform on-site sampling with UL laboratory in Nansha, Guangdong Province, PRC, as support. GEES CP IAQ holder can also be involved in UL’s new program: Building Indoor Air Quality to help clients achieve related certification relating to Building Indoor Air Quality.

UL BIAQ Indoor Air Quality Certification for Buildings

MMThe UL Indoor Air Quality Building Certification Program is the world’s first comprehensive indoor air quality certification and preventative maintenance program.

It addresses moisture, mold, VOCs, odors and other aspects of indoor air quality and provides the certification holder with a UL Certification Mark to communicate the achievement to their customers and stakeholders. People who are qualified with UL BIAQ AP can help with the certification process of UL BIAQ projects.

 

Objectives of this CPD seminar

  • To appeal to the audience the impact of indoor air quality on their physical health.
  • To provide information to those professionals who are interested to pursue how to be equipped with a qualification recognized by UL.
  • To introduce candidate IAQ testing, monitoring, and management techniques.
  • To keep the participants informed of the frontiers of IAQ management.

Audience

This seminar is ideal for architect, project manager, green building consultant, developer, sustainability coordinator, landscape architect, technical manager, energy engineer, MEP consultant, facility managers, or anyone interested in understanding indoor air quality issues and the way to improve IAQ for a better indoor/office environment.
