Cincinnati, OH
Facility managers are required to address indoor air quality (IAQ) issues within their facility portfolio. However, these efforts must complement Federal requirements to reduce energy consumption, eliminate carbon footprint, and accomplish all tasks in a cost-effective fashion. This session will provide an overview of current IAQ standards being implemented by Federal agencies, current practices being implemented to meet those standards, and emerging technologies that support these efforts. Session speakers will come from a spectrum of government agencies and commercial technology providers.
