	Course: Indoor Environmental Quality — IEQ Good building design is inherently codependent with human beings. The influence of the built environment upon our health and comfort is finally getting much deserved attention, eliciting a growing awareness which is creating a paradigm shift in design approaches. Mounting evidence about the inter-relationship of occupant health and worker performance to a building’s IEQ is significant. The goal of good IEQ is to effectively use design solutions that both encourage higher performance of the building and enhance the occupants’ health and productivity — which ultimately also ends up translating into numerous benefits for your clients. Additionally, there is an inseparable relationship between IEQ and energy usage which depends upon coordinated effort for maximum effectiveness. Understanding the issues presented in this course benefits your business, including giving you competitive advantages and reducing your liability exposure. Furthermore, your understanding and practice of good IEQ strategies has downstream effects and is critical to alleviating the environmental and health problems the world is facing today. What You Will Learn This course will enable you to have a good understanding of the six systems relevant to the indoor environment: natural lighting, acoustics, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, occupant controls and ergonomics. You will learn an overview of each system including green strategies. You will learn that good IEQ involves coordinating the interactions of these six systems and how they influence occupants and synergize with energy performance. You will learn the impact of your decisions and how you can make a difference. At the End of this Course You Will be Able to: • Define IEQ and what constitutes good and poor IEQ. • Understand the basic tenets of all six key systems of IEQ. • Know the goals of good IEQ. • Begin utilizing green strategies for better IEQ.
