Lingering Environmental Trends in Buildings
Tuesday, September 21
The buildings we spend the majority of the day in play an important role in our daily lives. The primary purpose of a building to protect people from the elements and to support human activity. Buildings should not make people sick, cause them discomfort or otherwise inhibit their ability to perform. If environmental exposures are not well managed, costly remediation and/or potential liability as a result of ensuing environmental issues can occur. In addition, with ever changing regulations, managing environmental exposures can help to limit liability and ensure regulatory compliance. Some of the most common lingering environmental trends in buildings are indoor air quality, water intrusion issues, mold and the ever changing regulations regarding lead based paint. In this presentation, we will discuss these environmental trends and what steps can be taken to manage these environmental exposures.
