19 +Many energy efficiency measures for buildings influence air quality. Indoor air quality is impacted by several factors however, and is not just a direct measurement of outdoor air quality and building quality. Mold, allergens, bacteria, radon, asbestos and carbon monoxide are also all factors which influence it. Whilst home sealing can mean less external air pollution enters, it also reduces ventilation which reduces opportunities for pollutants to escape (Supertech, 2021).
