IAQ Metrics reports are data summaries that focus on indoor air quality (IAQ) metrics within a space. You can use these reports to mitigate potential health risks and ensure that occupant health and comfort are compliant with WELL Building Standards.

Example scenario: Evaluate building performance after an expansion

After a major office expansion, you may want to assess how the building is performing. You can use an IAQ Metrics report to evaluate how well the HVAC system maintains air quality following the rebuild. Analyzing IAQ metrics like CO2 levels and humidity helps you make informed adjustments to the HVAC system, ensuring that occupants benefit from comfortable and healthy indoor environment in the expanded office areas.

Example scenario: Manage IAQ during environmental events

During major environmental events like forest fires or chemical spills, you may want to assess changes in IAQ parameters. You can use an IAQ Metrics report to identify fluctuations in PM2.5 levels, TVOC concentrations, and CO2 levels. Analyzing these metrics can lead to making informed decisions, such as adjusting ventilation rates or activating air purifiers, to maintain a healthy indoor environment despite challenging external conditions.
