Full Description

This exam focuses on the assessment of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) within sustainable buildings. It emphasizes the critical factors affecting occupant health that arise from building design and operation.

A comprehensive understanding of IEQ is essential for creating environments that promote health, comfort, and productivity. It plays a vital role in maintaining occupant satisfaction and addressing health concerns in building operations.

Candidates will be tested on their knowledge of various IEQ metrics and assessment methodologies, as well as their ability to critically evaluate the impacts of design decisions on indoor quality. Engaging discussion around case studies of IEQ assessments will be included.

Candidates are encouraged to review relevant literature on indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and acoustic performance in relation to sustainable building practices.
