More about IEQ
IEQ is an important part of a building’s overall sustainability. Temperature, lighting and acoustics are the 3 core indicators of IEQ and have a huge impact on people’s health, happiness and comfort within a building.
The direct benefits of IEQ to the building user are just starting to be recognised and measured, including faster recovery times for patients in hospitals, increased learning capacity within school facilities and boost office productivity.
The benefits of good IEQ to the financial bottom line are also just starting to be measured and the findings are significant.
