Abstract: Building rating systems have positive potential and the features to contribute to a healthy
life in the indoor environment. Evaluation of the indoor air environment requires a process to assess,
through field measurements, whether levels of contaminants such as formaldehyde and volatile
organic compounds (VOC) are exceeded. The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of
the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G‐SEED) rating system and to identify
appropriate measures to improve the system’s overall performance. The assessment required
verification of the system’s on‐site performance through testing and quarterly or annual reporting on
indoor air and water quality.
