Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) refers to the quality of a building's environment in relation to the health and well-being of those who occupy space within it. IEQ is affected by factors like air quality, temperature, lighting, acoustics, and HVAC systems. The document discusses surveys conducted at various office and healthcare facilities to understand how physical factors of the indoor workspace affect occupants. Issues identified include weak ventilation, noise levels, and lighting concerns. Recommended solutions involve improving ventilation, adding acoustic treatments, using low-VOC paints, and zoning work areas. Maintaining good IEQ can enhance occupant health, comfort, and productivity.
