The Indoor Environment
Americans spend an average of 90% of their lives inside. Within an average building, indoor levels of pollutants may be two to five times higher, and occasionally more than 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. Green buildings promote air quality through the use of low-emitting materials and finishes along with proper ventilation and control over indoor chemical and pollutant sources.
