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.
