COURSE DESCRIPTION

Renovation projects create special indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, from

dust and paint (sic) fumes during construction to off-gassing from new

carpeting and wall finishes after occupancy. This session will focus on

simple, straightforward procedures, some borrowed from asbestos and lead

remediation procedures, some dealing with material selection and

construction phasing, that can eliminate those problems. You will learn to

Identify techniques for avoiding problems during renovation and new

construction.

Please note that the convention program indicates that mold and mold

remediation would also be covered in this session. Unfortunately, there

simply is not time to adequately cover that topic along with IAQ during

renovation. I thought it was preferable to leave mold to another course

rather than doing a half-way job. If you are looking for such a course, let

the AIA know. I will be happy to put on such a course at the next

conference. In the meanwhile, if there is a demand, I will be adding mold

and mold remediation topics to my web site.
