States that the risk of indoor air quality (IAQ) problems appearing in new and reconditioned buildings is a significant concern. In North America, research has identified the source of IAQ problems to be malfunctioning, poorly maintained or inadequately designed heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Notes that experience clearly demonstrates that a properly-designed, well-constructed, properly-functioning and well-maintained HVAC system will reduce, if not eliminate, the majority of IAQ complaints by building occupants. Supplies a checklist developed as a guide to be used during the commissioning process so that IAQ requirements are met.
