This interactive training module will educate users about elements and properties of healthy office buildings through the selection of potential improvement measures for three hypothetical office building scenarios. By evaluating the provided indoor environmental quality (IEQ) performance assessment, the user will learn to identify strategies and key observations to improve IEQ conditions. The goal is to select the most applicable improvement measures for the respective building scenario and achieve the highest rating result. The content of this training is based on the Healthy Buildings and Energy Support Tool (H-BEST) and the module will aid in understanding the use of H-BEST for office buildings.
