This page will summarize the standards and guidelines published by relevant professional organizations in the field of indoor air quality.
Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS)
The Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS) is a science and policy research initiative that drives the creation of healthy, equitable, and transparently monitored indoor environments. The organization bridges the gap between complex science and public awareness by creating an open, universal language for clean air and simplifying pollutant metrics into an intuitive, actionable global scoring system.
GO IAQS
The Global Open Indoor Air Quality Standards (GO IAQS) is a science-based, open-access framework designed specifically to harmonize pollutant thresholds inside buildings.
The framework features a two-tier guideline system:
- Starter Tier: Targets core indicators such as PM2.5 and CO2, using low-cost sensors to make air monitoring accessible to developing and underserved communities.
- Ultimate Tier: Covers a wider spectrum of advanced hazards, including formaldehyde, ozone, carbon monoxide, and radon.
All data are simplified into an intuitive, color-blind-friendly GO IAQS Score, scaled from 0 to 10 and using the letter grades A, B, and Z. The score helps the general public understand real-time exposure risks.
GO AAQS
The Global Open Ambient Air Quality Standards (GO AAQS) focuses on outdoor or environmental air. This branch supports the 2021 WHO Air Quality Guidelines, establishing clear outdoor pollutant limits to anchor international policy and ensure global equity in atmospheric health. It provides an open, universally accessible standard to bridge the gap between outdoor emission tracking and public awareness, ensuring that clean air benchmarks remain uniform regardless of geographical borders.
REHVA
The Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations (REHVA) is an independent, pan-European professional organization that drives the creation of healthy, energy-efficient, and sustainable buildings. This federation bridges the gap between European policy and practical application by advancing mechanical building services and technology through zero-energy engineering practice, technical guidance, and professional training.
ASHRAE
As a global professional association, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) promotes the creation of healthy, sustainable, and well-regulated built environments. It bridges the gap between scientific research and practical industry application by advancing HVAC&R systems technology in fields like technical standards development, continuing education, and building energy efficiency.
ISIAQ
As an independent, international non-profit, the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) promotes the creation of healthy, comfortable, and productive indoor environments. It bridges the gap between science and practical application by advancing indoor air quality and climate technology in fields like building design, maintenance, air testing, and health sciences.
