Overview

Overview

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a renewed focus on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in buildings, with extensive research being undertaken by governments, industry and academics.

The ABCB is reviewing and updating its IAQ Handbook to ensure it reflects the latest scientific evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can contribute to the review and update of the handbook by helping to identify domestic and international research that may be relevant.

Relevant research and sources of evidence can be submitted through this consultation.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

What happens next

The ABCB will consider all information received and make appropriate changes to the IAQ Handbook.

A revised edition of the IAQ Handbook is planned for release by the end of 2022.
