CHEME
EPD has launched the IAQ Certification Scheme in 2003 in order to
improve the indoor air quality and promote public awareness of the
importance of IAQ. There are two objectives of the Certification
Scheme: a.) to recognise good IAQ management practice and b.) to
provide incentives for owners of premises / buildings or property
management companies to pursue the best level of IAQ.
More details can be found in EPD website [
