A simple systematic guide for architectural practice is proposed in the form of an IAQ-based design aid that can be utilized when decisions regarding the selection of envelope materials and energy systems are made. It is intended to be the first step towards the effective bridging of the existing gap between IAQ information and the architectural profession. The proposed guide is in a writ ten form as well as a simple computer hyper-text and is intended to be a quick reference for obtaining direct information on types of pollutants associated with each finish material, health risks, and possible alternative materials with less polluting impact on indoor air.
