BRE is engaged in a wide range of testing, assessment, advisory and research work into the quality of indoor environments in non-domestic buildings - be they offices, retail spaces, educational establishments, healthcare settings or other. This work may be conducted on behalf of manufacturers, developers, building owners, facilities managers or building users, or as part of research consortia.  During the course of such projects we have become cognoscente of the crucial importance of good IEQ for the health and wellbeing of building occupants, but often we come up against inconsistency or lack of appropriate benchmarks and standards for good IEQ.

BRE therefore welcomes the proposed PAS 3003, and its associated Code of Practice, as invaluable tools with which to measure, monitor and evaluate the various factors crucial to quality indoor environments.
