Green Design: Introduction to Indoor Environmental Air Quality
This 3-hour interactive online course describes the indoor environment quality (IEQ) of buildings and the variables that regulate it. It gives background information for the variables and their effect on people and for the design of buildings and systems to create a safe, healthy and productive environment. The course goes on to list the credits offered for optimizing the indoor conditions by the USGBC LEED®NC rating system and the requirements for achieving the credits.
