Information about Indoor air quality / ventilation Indoor air quality should be at a level that most staff are comfortable, with a range of acceptable parameters for CO2 and O2 levels as well as temperature and humidity. At the University, indoor air quality is managed by a variety of means, depending upon the building itself, for example full management systems or more simple means such as openable windows or local ventilation solutions. During new build or refurbishments, the Estates Project Management team will undertake the design and installation of the ventilation systems to a number of recognised standards, for example CIBSE, depending upon the usage of the building in consultation with the School or Department if applicable. Due to the variety of different buildings in the University estate, any issues arising will need to be dealt with on an individual basis.
