What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of air inside buildings and structures, particularly in relation to the health and comfort of the occupants. It encompasses various factors, including the presence of pollutants such as dust, mold, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Ensuring good IAQ is essential for creating a healthy environment that minimizes health risks and enhances overall well-being.

Why should you consider Indoor Air Quality Measurement?

Environmental Protection Department (EPD) launched the “Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Certification Scheme” to encourage public and private organizations to adopt good IAQ management practices and, according to their situation and needs, pursue the best level of indoor air quality. Offices or public places served by mechanical ventilation and air conditioning (MVAC) systems (excluding window-type air-conditioners or split-type air-conditioners) are eligible to join the IAQ Certification Scheme. ​​
