Summary Article (Draft 3) Indoor air quality

In the excerpt Guidelines for Good Indoor Air Quality in Office Premises, MNV (1996) stated that buildings should be designed and constructed regarding the pollution which may occur within the building. The Air Conditioning and Mechanical System (ACMV) should be constructed in a manner that reduces the spread of contaminants. MNV (1996) also mentioned that the materials and surfaces of the building should not emit any harmful chemicals, while the placement of outdoor air intakes should not be situated near sources of pollution. Buildings should be constructed in ways that prevents contaminants from entering. To ensure contaminants do not enter, the air ducts should be fitted for easy maintenance and inspections as well as being built with materials that produces less friction. This excerpt elaborates on ways that air pollution within a building can be reduced through the design and construction of the building. However, there are other methods available as well.
