IEQ Building Science – Moisture Review: emphasis is on moisture sources in a hot, humid climate
Biologically Derived Contaminants: where they are found and what environmental conditions support their growth
Combustion Pollutants: covers combustion pollutant sources from cooking, space heating, hot water generation, and attached garages as well as methods on how to minimize or prevent these problems
VOCs, Formaldehyde, Radon, Lead and other IEQ Concerns: presents recommendations and methods to minimize or eliminate these potential hazards in the home
