Owners and managers of office buildings are under greater pressure than ever before to meet the demands of the marketplace in attracting and retaining occupants. With the intense competition to maintain high occupancy rates a management company must often exceed the expectations of their occupants, even beyond the legal and financial dictates.
Environmental concerns over the last couple decades have come to play a major role in commercial real estate development and management. Over the last five to ten years greater emphasis has been placed upon indoor air quality (IAQ) than perhaps any other environmental issue. Among forward-thinking real estate property managers it has nearly become a standard of doing business to have their buildings routinely inspected as part of a Proactive IAQ Monitoring Program. a Healthy environment consists of many factors, including indoor air quality. When all factors are aligned and working properly, the building environment contributes to the productivity and performance of occupant, students and staff. The Indoor Air Quality Management Plan has been developed to provide guidance to maintain high indoor air quality standards.
