A Toolkit for Improving Indoor Air Quality in Workplaces

Office IAQ can be improved – especially when you organize your efforts! An office Green Team can effectively survey conditions relating to IAQ complaints, and can correct some causes of IAQ problems. For other problems, office Green Teams can contribute to effective communications with facility management, building owners or outside parties. Resources for improving IAQ in all types of workplaces are listed at the end of this guide. If you work in a non-office environment, such as industrial, retail, hospitality, health care and institutional situations, you can adapt the IAQ improvement methods offered in this toolkit to complement the efforts of your company’s industrial hygiene or safety specialists.
