What is IAQ?

In modern city life, people spend most of their time indoors, e.g. at home, office, school, etc. Therefore, the quality of air in an indoor environment – Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) – has a significant impact on human health and comfort.

Good IAQ is important to safeguarding the health of the building occupants and contributes to their comfort and well-being.
