Discussion Points
- Even if a building is designed and constructed to be perfectly non-toxic, why must you incorporate Engineering Controls to reduce potential exposures? How can different toxics infiltrate or contaminate a building? How do occupants introduce toxics into the environment?
- What kinds of design strategies are most important to improving air quality through ventilation, filtration, and HVAC systems?
- What kinds of strategies can be used to reduce dust, or mitigate dirt and outdoor contaminants that users may track into a building?
- How can zoning and compartmentalization help prevent potential exposures?
