NIOSH uses the term "Indoor Environmental Quality" (IEQ) to describe
the complex blend of elements that make up the indoor environment and
the problems that can occur within it. NIOSH investigations show that
the occupant complaints stem not only from Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
issues such as chemical off-gassing form fixtures, equipment and occupants,
dusts, and aerosols of microbiological origin, but from comfort elements
such as temperature, relative humidity, lighting, ventilation, noise,
and vibration. Whether an air quality issue or a comfort issue, all
play a role in the productivity of people inhabiting an indoor environment.
Measurements of indoor environmental quality factors an help to characterize
an indoor environment, pinpoint problem areas, and provide the data
needed to put effective controls into place. SKC offers reliable, easy-to-use
instruments to provide you with the information you need to maintain
not only good indoor air quality, but optimum
occupant comfort
