Benefits of Interior Environmental Quality

Reduced Respiratory Issues

• • Install high-efficiency air filtration (e.g., MERV 13 filters or higher) to reduce pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and allergens.
  • Provide better ventilation to minimize carbon dioxide (CO₂) buildup, which can cause fatigue, headaches, and impaired cognitive function.

Improved Cognitive Function and Productivity

• • Improve indoor air quality to enhance cognitive performance, such as decision-making, crisis response, and focus.
  • Increase outdoor air supply rates and real-time monitoring of CO₂ levels to keep indoor air fresh.

Lower Risk of Cardiovascular and Neurological Diseases

• • Mitigate environmental exposures linked to cardiovascular issues, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Reduce or eliminate emissions from building materials and furniture to create healthier indoor spaces.

Enhanced Immune System Function

• • Use disinfection methods to reduce airborne pathogens, thereby lowering the risk of respiratory infections like colds, flu, and even COVID-19.

Better Sleep and Reduced Stress

• • Lower levels of CO₂ and indoor pollutants improve sleep quality.
  • Natural daylight exposure and circadian lighting systems, help regulate sleep-wake cycles and reduce stress levels.

Protection from Extreme Heat and Pollutants

• • Thermal comfort ensures stable indoor temperatures, crucial during heat waves.
• • Support vulnerable populations (children, elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions) by protecting them from airborne pollutants and climate-related stressors.
