The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) documented generally poor conditions of school facilities in the early 1990s. Previous papers examined, for time intervals ending before 2002, relationships between education facility indoor air and environmental quality (IEQ), including adequate ventilation, and occupant health and productivity. Research on IEQ related specifically to new or refurbished traditional school construction, or portable classrooms, is limited. A review of school IEQ literature through fall 2003 was conducted. Then, acknowledging the limited resources and competing priorities facing American schools, practical science-based, best practices recommendations to promote IEQ and hence prevent or reduce potential occupant exposure to biological, chemical, and physical agents of concern were proposed. Electronic search engines, conference proceedings, the Internet, and reference lists of peer-reviewed papers and reports were used. Eighteen best practices based on scientific references are presented.
美国总审计局（GAO）记录了20世纪90年代初学校设施普遍较差的状况。此前的论文研究了2002年之前各时间段内教育设施室内空气与环境质量（IEQ）之间的关系，包括通风是否充足，以及居住者的健康和生产力。专门针对新建或翻新的传统学校建筑或移动教室的IEQ研究有限。对截至2003年秋季的学校IEQ文献进行了综述。然后，考虑到美国学校面临的资源有限和优先事项相互竞争的情况，提出了基于实践科学的最佳做法建议，以促进IEQ，从而预防或减少居住者接触潜在的生物、化学和物理有害因素。使用了电子搜索引擎、会议论文集、互联网以及同行评审论文和报告的参考文献列表。本文介绍了基于科学参考文献的18条最佳做法。
