Professional and Scientific Recommendations

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. This 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.

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.
