Supporting Healthy Indoor Air Quality Through Furniture Specification
Thursday April 25th 2024
We spend 90% of our time indoors, so the air we breathe in those spaces has an outsized effect on our health. The EPA estimates that indoor concentrations of pollutants are 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor. This is caused by poor ventilation and elevated levels of CO2 + VOCs.
This CEU is accredited for 1.0 credit through IDCEC. Members of other organizations (AIA, GBCI, etc.) will be provided a certificate of completion following the course and may use that to self-report for potential credit through their organization.
