Appendix C 449
10 CONCLUDING REMARKS
Awareness of the significant influences of IEQ on the comfort,
health, satisfaction and productivity of building occupants is increas-
ing. The implementation of energy conservation projects in commercial
buildings will often influence IEQ positively or negatively; therefore,
IEQ should be considered during the selection and implementation of
energy conservation measures. For many projects, IEQ problems are eas-
ily avoided through proper implementation of the energy conservation
measures and the application of general knowledge about IEQ. In some
situations, IEQ M&V is warranted to assure that IEQ remains acceptable
or to quantify improvements in IEQ. This document serves to educate
building energy professionals about the most relevant aspects of IEA
and also provides guidance on IEQ M&V.
