Introduction
When not in the home urban populations spend most of the time indoors working in commercial
buildings, enjoy leisure time in hotels or shopping malls, or maybe using services in hospitals and
transportation centers among other types of facilities. There are many scientific studies showing that
special characteristics of indoor air pollution make enclosed spaces quite different from the outdoors
in terms of the quality of the air. There is a lot of knowledge about indoor air pollution, however, there
is a general lack of practical application of most of this information in the everyday life of the general
public, this document aims to help the managers of indoor built environments to apply protocols and
maintenance programs intended to enhance indoor air quality.
This document will help facility managers to apply protocols and maintenance processes designed to
enhance indoor air quality in their indoor spaces.
Controlling the quality of the indoor air can have enormous social benefits in terms of comfort and
health of the population, therefore enhancing productivity and minimizing absenteeism in commercial
premises as well as minimising nosocomial infections in hospital environments.

Introduction
When not in the home urban populations spend most of the time indoors working in commercial
buildings, enjoy leisure time in hotels or shopping malls, or maybe using services in hospitals and
transportation centers among other types of facilities. There are many scientific studies showing that
special characteristics of indoor air pollution make enclosed spaces quite different from the outdoors
in terms of the quality of the air. There is a lot of knowledge about indoor air pollution, however, there
is a general lack of practical application of most of this information in the everyday life of the general
public, this document aims to help the managers of indoor built environments to apply protocols and
maintenance programs intended to enhance indoor air quality.
This document will help facility managers to apply protocols and maintenance processes designed to
enhance indoor air quality in their indoor spaces.
Controlling the quality of the indoor air can have enormous social benefits in terms of comfort and
health of the population, therefore enhancing productivity and minimizing absenteeism in commercial
premises as well as minimising nosocomial infections in hospital environments.

Introduction
Lorsqu’elles ne sont pas à leur domicile, les populations urbaines passent la plupart du temps à
l’intérieur, à travailler dans des bâtiments commerciaux, à profiter de leur temps libre dans des hôtels
ou des centres commerciaux, ou éventuellement à utiliser les services des hôpitaux et des centres de
transport parmi d’autres types d’installations. De nombreuses études scientifiques montrent que des
caractéristiques particulières de la pollution de l’air intérieur rendent les espaces clos assez différents
de l’extérieur en termes de qualité de l’air. Bien que les connaissances sur la pollution de l’air intérieur
soient vastes, l’application pratique de la plupart de ces informations dans la vie quotidienne du grand
public fait généralement défaut. Le présent document vise à aider les gestionnaires des environnements
bâtis intérieurs à appliquer des protocoles et des programmes de maintenance destinés à améliorer la
qualité de l’air intérieur.
Le présent document aidera les gestionnaires des installations à appliquer des protocoles et des
processus de maintenance conçus pour améliorer la qualité de l’air intérieur dans leurs espaces
intérieurs.
Le contrôle de la qualité de l’air intérieur peut avoir d’énormes bénéfices sociaux en termes de confort
et de santé de la population, améliorant ainsi la productivité et réduisant l’absentéisme dans les locaux
commerciaux ainsi que les infections nosocomiales dans les environnements hospitaliers.

Introduction
When not in the home urban populations spend most of the time indoors working in commercial
buildings, enjoy leisure time in hotels or shopping malls, or maybe using services in hospitals and
transportation centers among other types of facilities. There are many scientific studies showing that
special characteristics of indoor air pollution make enclosed spaces quite different from the outdoors
in terms of the quality of the air. There is a lot of knowledge about indoor air pollution, however, there
is a general lack of practical application of most of this information in the everyday life of the general
public, this document aims to help the managers of indoor built environments to apply protocols and
maintenance programs intended to enhance indoor air quality.
This document will help facility managers to apply protocols and maintenance processes designed to
enhance indoor air quality in their indoor spaces.
Controlling the quality of the indoor air can have enormous social benefits in terms of comfort and
health of the population, therefore enhancing productivity and minimizing absenteeism in commercial
premises as well as minimising nosocomial infections in hospital environments.
