This session is designed for

Architects
Building Designers
Mechanical Engineers
Facility Managers

By the end of this course, participants will understand the key factors influencing indoor air quality (IAQ), including common pollutants and their health impacts, and how to control them through ventilation. They will be able to compare Australia’s NCC 2022 ventilation requirements with emerging international IAQ standards, and apply smart technologies like demand-controlled ventilation, HEPA filtration, and real-time air quality monitoring. Participants will also gain practical skills to implement effective design and mechanical strategies that enhance IAQ in both new and existing buildings.

  • Understanding key indoor air pollutants (PM2.5, VOCs, mould) and their impact on occupant health.
  • Comparing NCC 2022 ventilation requirements with international IAQ standards like ASHRAE 62.1 and WELL.
  • Exploring smart ventilation technologies, including demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV).
  • Applying IAQ strategies in building design, HVAC systems, and mechanical engineering solutions.
  • Implementing real-time IAQ monitoring, filtration advancements, and future trends in IAQ and ventilation.

This ensures that CPD efforts align with professional regulatory requirements.
