Building Air Quality: A Guide for Building Owners and Facility Managers (BAQ Guide)
The Building Air Quality (BAQ) guide, developed by the EPA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health, provides practical suggestions on preventing, identifying, and
resolving indoor air quality (IAQ) problems in public and commercial
buildings. This guidance provides information on factors affecting indoor
air quality; describes how to develop an IAQ profile of building
conditions and create an IAQ management plan; describes investigative
strategies to identify causes of IAQ problems; and provides criteria for
assessing alternative mitigation strategies, determining whether a problem
has been resolved, and deciding whether to consult outside technical
specialists. Other topics included in the guide are key problem causing
factors; air quality sampling; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
systems; moisture problems; and additional sources of information.

Building Air Quality Action Plan
The Building Air Quality Action Plan (BAQ
Action Plan) meets the needs of building owners and managers who want an
easy-to-understand path for taking their building from current
conditions and practices to the successful institutionalization of good
IAQ management practices. It emphasizes changing how you operate
and maintain your building, not increasing the amount of work or cost
of maintaining your building. The BAQ Action Plan follows 8 logical
steps and includes a 100-item Checklist that is designed to help verify
implementation of the Action Plan. EPA Document #
402-K-98-001, June 1998. Also DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 98-123
