Summary (Draft 1)

An excerpt from Guidelines for Good Indoor Air Quality in Office Premises (1996), stated that improving indoor air quality (IAQ) can be done through the initial design and construction of the building. The ACMV system (Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation) should be designed in a way that prevent the spread of contaminants. Building materials used should not produce any chemicals that will affect the IAQ. To ensure acceptable IAQ, inspection was to be done constantly by professional, making sure the materials used for air ducts were able to withstand daily usage and maintenance. The placement of the outdoor air intakes should be far away from any form of pollution, while the air filter to be situated near air intakes with protection from outdoor elements. Any systems did not belong to ACMV should not be found in AHU room.
