STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING SATISFACTORY BALNCE BETWEEN GOOD INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND THE RATIONAL USE OF ENERGY

SOURCE CONTROL SHOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY

BOTH THE TATIONAL USE OF ENERGY AN THE PROVISION OF GOOD IAQ

THE RECOMMENDED STRATEGY

CONTROL SOURCES OF POLLUTION AND OF ENERGY LOSS USING SUITABLE MATERIALS, SEALING, LOCAL EXTRACTION

ENVIROMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKE IS A KEY POLLUTANT, WITH SERIOUS ENERGY PENALTIES BECAUSE OF SUBSTANCIAL INCREASES IN VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

REDUCING AIR EXCHANGE RATES TO SAVE ENERGY MAY RESULT IN POOR IAQ

CONTROL, MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES ARE ESSENTIAL AND GOOD STRATEGIES SHOULD BE DEVELOPED
