A brief description of the institution's indoor air quality plan, policy, and/or practices:

Facilities manages all building HVAC systems. Any occupancy issues related to indoor air quality are called into Facilities and campus HVAC technicians respond with corrective action. In addition HVAC works to maintain the filters and equipment with an active preventative maintenance (PM) program.. Any hot and cold calls go directly to the Facilities Management and Services Department.

Biotechnology Building 4 Laboratory Controls
To improve energy efficiency and to enhance indoor air quality, we are installing a very sophisticated OptiNet Laboratory Aircuity Control System in the Biotechnology Building. The aircuity system will continuously monitor indoor air particulates and compounds in laboratory spaces and adjust the ventilation systems to optimize indoor air quality and energy conservation. The system is expected to save over $130K per year in energy savings.
