This presentation will summarize research on energy efficient means of improving IEQ, and on IEQ exposure assessment methods. There will also be a summary of statistical modeling to analyze the relationship between IEQ and occupant's health symptoms. Information on research primarily on the sources, concentrations, transport, chemistry, and control methods for indoor VOCs will be presented .

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to: (
• summarize research on energy efficient means of improving IEQ; (
• identify IEQ exposure assessment methods; (
• become familiar with statistical modeling and how it is used to analyze the relationship between IEQ and occupant's health symptoms; and (
• gain an overview of information on research primarily on the sources, concentrations, transport, chemistry, and control methods for indoor VOCs.
