residential building

We spend 90% of our time indoors, so we have to consider how a home's design and construction can affect indoor air quality. To achieve superior indoor air quality it is important to:

• remove any contaminants at the source of production;
• reduce the contaminants built into the house;
• exchange the indoor air with.fresh outdoor air.

This booklet presents seven outstanding renovation projects that show a different set of renovation challenges and solutions. Together, they demonstrate how a house of any age can be turned into a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient home.
