![How Do HVAC Systems Impact Indoor Air Quality?](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/11910/584172/5ffd9864bfda5/Covid-19.jpg)
It has been five months since Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic. In these five months, the world has withdrawn into quarantine, emerged, and quarantined again in some countries.
As the world stayed indoors and priorities changed, community health and wellbeing has become increasingly important.
Living and working in spaces that are safe, secure and sanitary take precedence over location and other factors that were important in the pre-pandemic world.
Sick building syndrome along with poor indoor air quality were identified by the World Health Organization as major concerns over 30 years ago; however, these issues continue to threaten the health of office workers, school children and residents all over the world.
In fact, some building interiors, once thought of as safe havens from outside air pollution may be more polluted than the surrounding environment.
The pandemic has changed priorities and so the public will increasingly look for healthy buildings, specifically in the UAE as offices have re-opened and children return to school this September. For the safety of the general public and our children, factors such as indoor air quality should be top of mind for real estate developers and owners when they plan to develop the cities of the future.
The case for more healthy buildings
