INDOOR AIR QUALITY
 THE BACKGROUND OF IAQ

 Good IAQ is desired for a healthy indoor

environment.
 Poor IAQ can cause short-term and long term health
problems.
 Health problems associated with poor IAQ include
allergic reactions, respiratory problems, eye irritation,
sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia.
 SOURCE OF POOR IAQ

a) the occupants exhaled carbon dioxide gas

b) inadequate materials or materials with technical defects used in
the construction of the building
c) the work performed within (such as cleaning of carpet)
d) excessive or improper use of normal products (pesticides,
disinfectants, products used for cleaning and polishing)
e) combustion gases (such as smoking)
f) cross-contamination coming from other poorly ventilated zones.
 PARAMETER TO INDICATE IAQ
Chemical contaminants
Physical conditions,
Biological agents
Radiation
LIGHTING AND
SIGHTEDNESS
 WORK PLACE TERMINOLOGY
• means the attribute of visual sensation according to which a surface appears to
Brightness emit or reflect more or less light.

• means the measure of the stream of light falling on a surface. The light may
come from sun, lamps in a room or any other bright surface. The unit of
Illumination measurement is the lux (lx). Imperial unit for illumination is foot-candle.

• means the measure of the brightness of a surface; the perception of brightness of a surface is
proportional to its luminance. Therefore, luminance is a measure of light coming from a surface.
Since it is a function of the light that is emitted or reflected from a wall, furniture and other
Luminance objects, it is greatly affected by the reflected power of the surface. The luminance of a lamp on
the other hand is and exact measure of the light they emit.

 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
 Adequate ventilation and air conditioning
system are required
 Purchase equipment with low thermal
emissions.
 recommended ambient air temperature is 23-27
degrees Celsius and the maximum relative
humidity is 75%.
