Managing Indoor Air Quality- Handbook for Property Managers

The Environmental Protection Department has made available for download, the Managing Indoor Air Quality- Handbook for Property Managers aimed at educating and providing guidance for those individuals responsible for building maintenance and monitoring the indoor air quality up to and including the maintenance of the Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems (VAC).

The majority of indoor air quality complaints in Barbados are the result of poor ventilation, fungal growth, poor housekeeping practices and use of chemicals.
