Description

Indoor environments ideally protect us from harm. But what happens when buildings actually make us sick? This course covers general concerns around indoor air quality and what can be done about them. The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of where indoor air quality problems originate, strategies for improving indoor air quality, and regulation surrounding these issues. At the end of the course, students will be able to identify indoor air contaminants, related human health issues, and appropriate interventions. Evaluation for the course is based on online assignments, in-class presentations, and a final paper.
