Seminar 41 Fellows Debate: Productivity is the Measure of Indoor Air Quality

Tuesday, 28 June 2016: 11:00 AM-12:30 PM
Indoor Environment: Health, Comfort, Productivity
Chair: Larry Spielvogel, P.E., Consulting Engineer
Sponsor: College of Fellows, Indoor Air Quality Association
In the Fellows Debate both sides of a controversial subject are debated. Can productivity be measured? Does perception of comfort increase productivity, or is it irrelevant? The science of IAQ is implied in the requirements of standards and other guidance documents. Can the designer and commissioning engineer apply the science effectively? Are comfort, sense of well-being and of health measures of productivity? Is personal productivity a true measure in buildings such as operating theaters and data centers? Can existing science support performance-based definitions? Legally, can the designer or operator be liable for health or productivity or any other such outcome?
