Healthy Products & Spaces
People spend about 90 percent of their time indoors where air pollution levels are typically 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. The largest source of this pollution is volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from building materials and furnishings.
Architects and designers can have a significant impact on occupant health by taking steps during design and construction to ensure healthy indoor air in the spaces they create.
Specifying GREENGUARD Certified products is among the most effective and easiest ways for architects, designers and specifiers to ensure they create healthier educational, healthcare, office and home environments.
