Multifamily buildings are an indoor air quality challenge for several reasons. Individual behaviors cannot be controlled as in an office, school, or other commercial/institutional settings. The construction practices are historically different compounding the issues of air transfer between different dwelling units. This session examines the sources of IAQ issues and provides standardized and better practice solutions.
