What is I-
BEAM?
The Indoor Air Quality
Building Education and
Assessment Model (I-
BEAM) was designed to
be used by building
professionals and others
interested in indoor air
quality in commercial buildings. I-BEAM updates and
expands EPA's Building Air Quality guidance and is
designed to be comprehensive state-of-the-art guidance
for managing IAQ in commercial buildings. I-BEAM
contains text, animation/visual, and
interactive/calculation components that can be used to
perform several tasks including:
conducting an indoor air quality (IAQ) building
audit;
diagnosing and resolving IAQ related health
problems;
establishing an IAQ management and
maintenance program to reduce IAQ risks;
planning IAQ compatible energy projects;
protecting occupants from exposures to
construction/renovation contaminants; and
calculating the cost, revenue, and productivity
impacts of planned IAQ activities.
The text material (Text Module) and visual guides
(Visua|_Reference_ModuJe) are educational. This
material integrates information from a variety of sources,
with a style that is crisp, to the point, and action
oriented. The calculation features (Budgets and
Accounts Module) are designed for planning and
budgeting IAQ activities, for calculating and recording
IAQ expenses, for estimating the impact of IAQ on
revenues and productivity, and for developing reports
and documentation.
