The Federal Emergency Management Program (FEMP) provides resources for facilities interested in learning about the intersection of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and energy efficiency for holistic assessment and improvement opportunities in federal buildings.
Ventilation Assessment and Action Guide
This guide explores how to spot signs of poor indoor environmental quality, when and how to apply effective ventilation strategies, and how to do it all efficiently. There are also best practices for performing upkeep on heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to extend equipment life and reduce costs resulting from system replacement or long-term maintenance.
Making the Most Out of an Indoor Environmental Quality Assessment
This fact sheet describes how to plan for an IEQ assessment and the value it can provide for building owners, managers, and operators.
Energy Efficiency and Indoor Environmental Quality Assessment Guide
This report provides thorough guidance when preparing for an IEQ assessment. It includes step-by-step instructions, detailed insights, and practical examples for the various phases of an energy and IEQ assessment. IEQ improvement strategies often provide overlapping opportunities for increasing building energy efficiency, creating a win-win situation for building operations.
Indoor Environmental Quality Analysis and Solutions Interactive Training
This interactive training module will educate users about potential improvement measures for three hypothetical office building scenarios. By evaluating the provided indoor environmental quality (IEQ) performance assessment, the user will learn to identify strategies and key observations to improve IEQ conditions. The goal is to select the most applicable improvement measures for the respective building scenario and achieve the highest rating result.
