Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did!#32 The Simple Business Case for Indoor Air Quality!For Episode 32, we were joined by Mazen Jamal for an in-depth discussion on the business case for indoor air quality (IAQ).
A whole body of scientific research now shows that CO2 levels impact cognitive function. Yet, IAQ often seems like an afterthought for smart building technology projects.
Is it just reality that IAQ is lower in the technology “pecking order” than energy management, occupancy analytics, artificial intelligence, fire detection, etc, and therefore doesn't get the same investment?
