Overview
Indoor air quality (IAQ) issues can result from interactions between building materials and furnishings, activities within the building, climate, and building occupants. UFV is committed to providing a work environment that minimizes recognizable hazards and investigating any concerns that may be related to poor indoor air quality.
Health Canada and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) have established air quality and comfort parameters for indoor (non-industrial) environments. These standards are used as best practices throughout the industry and have therefore been adopted by UFV.
