Australian Building Codes Board Produces New IAQ Procedure Handbook

The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) have published a new handbook for the application of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) verification methods. This non-mandatory document covers the general principles of building ventilation, air contaminants and IAQ. Guidance on design strategies, modelling principles, and sampling and testing are also included.

The handbook is also endorsed by the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning & Heating (AIRAH).

The full handbook, which is one of a series produced by the ABCB, to address concerns from government and industry relating to the built environment, is available at the link below.
