Even among professionals, there is not a clear understanding about cost and impact of IAQ
PHILADELPHIA — There is quite a bit of confusion about the costs and benefits of IAQ improvement — even among building designers, engineers, managers, owners, and tenants — according to a survey by Drexel University researchers.
The study, which was published in the journal Indoor Air with new findings presented at the annual meeting of The Society for Risk Analysis, Michael Waring, Ph.D., and Patrick Gurian, Ph.D., faculty members in Drexel’s College of Engineering, indicates that there are some serious misperceptions about how much it would cost to improve indoor air and how much it actually helps.
