Establish building operational guidelines
Rationale: Distributing Building Operational Guidelines, which include policies focused on indoor air and environmental quality, can increase implementation of tactics that reduce lung - related morbidities such as sick building syndrome and asthma as well as boost trust between building occupants and management.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
