ASHRAE’s Mid Strategic plan #2 initiative area calls for the development of a standard addressing air quality, thermal environment, light, sound, and vibration in an integrated way. Guideline 10 is the start to the development of this IEQ Standard; however, what is missing to development and IEQ Standard is a metric to determine the success of meeting the standard. Ideally such a standard and metric would sustain and possibly improve the health of the building occupants so should this metric be health-based. This seminar will discuss ongoing research to develop a metric for an IEQ standard.
