Indoor Environmental Quality Stategies


For the next couple of posts we're going to talk about indooor environmental quality. When we built green near Columbia, SC we wanted clean safe, quality air inside. There are several ways to ensure this. One of the easiest is to control the moisture of the building components. When materials are delivered to the site, take steps to ensure they do not become exposed to the elements by covering them. Another great idea is to seal up your ductwork vents during construction. They make some duct caps for that, but I used some fortiflash tape to cover the floor ones. For the attic vents, my rater put some plastic over them when we tested, and I just left it there until time to install the register covers.
