Webinar participants will learn how to—

  • Explain the critical connection between IAQ, energy efficiency and preventive maintenance, and the importance of properly integrating them for optimal occupant health and building performance during a renovation project.
  • Use resources to help with energy efficiency and preventive maintenance efforts, including the Energy Savings Plus Health guide and the accompanying Interactive Air Quality Planner for Schools that helps you create a custom verification checklist for both your building upgrades and concurrent IAQ assessment protocols for each step of the upgrade process.
  • Use a case study from a school district on getting started using these resources to create healthy indoor learning environments.
  • Start or improve a preventive maintenance program to include IAQ and energy efficiency components as part of a comprehensive building management approach.

To explore the tools prior to the webinar, download the Guidelines and the Interactive Air Quality Planner.
