Indoor Environment Quality

The assessment system assesses indoor Environment Quality with regard to an appropriate
healthy level such as Lighting & Illumination, Noise & Acoustics, Ventilation rate and Thermal
comfort as well as protecting the occupants from microbiological contamination or any hazardous
substances that might be emitted from the indoor materials.

There are a number of building characteristics that facilitate both a higher quality of operation and
attendant services. These have indirect but significant effects on resource use, environmental
loadings and indoor environmental quality.

 8. Economic Aspects
Attaining superiority in the construction industry is the goal that attracts the interest of most key
stakeholders and therefore sustainable principles must be built upon a careful consideration of
the financial aspect. Thus, to meet best practice, environmental assessment systems are
concerned with the management of life cycle cost, construction cost, and operating maintenance
cost in a sustainable manner.
