A. Indoor environmental quality: i. Ventilation levels (e.g., natural vs. mechanical; outdoor air; regional climate conditions) ii. Tobacco smoke control (e.g., prohibiting smoking; environmental tobacco smoke transfer) iii. Management of and improvements to indoor air quality (e.g., source control; filtration and dilution; construction indoor air quality; air testing; ongoing monitoring) iv. Low-emitting materials (e.g., product categories [paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, flooring, etc.]; volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and content; evaluating environmental claims)
B. Lighting: electric lighting quality (e.g., tradeoffs [color, efficiency]; surface reflectance; types of fixtures)
C. Daylight (e.g., building massing and orientation; glare; human health impacts; illuminance)
D. Acoustic performance (e.g., exterior and interior noise; background noise; dead vs. live spaces)
E. Occupant comfort, health and satisfaction: controllability of systems (e.g., thermal; lighting)
F. Thermal comfort design (e.g., strategies to promote occupants’ productivity and comfort; values of occupant satisfaction)
