A brief description of the institution’s indoor air quality program(s) (including information about regular auditing or monitoring, mechanisms for occupants to register complaints, and action plans):

Commissioning is a comprehensive engineering analysis of the operation and performance of a building’s systems, including HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and lighting systems. The methodical process ensures building performance, reduces energy use, improves indoor air quality and meets occupants' needs.

Commissioning occurs during the new construction process, in existing buildings and with newly installed systems to sustain efficiency. Existing-building commissioning has the heaviest focus right now in alignment with the Better Buildings Challenge.
