Which item is a component of an IAQ Management plan?

• A. Filtration
• B. Landscaping
• C. Ventilation strategies
• D. Water efficiency

Answer: (A)

An IAQ Management Plan focuses on actively controlling contaminants to protect occupants. Filtration directly removes airborne particles from the air that would otherwise circulate through the building, which is a concrete action you can specify and maintain during construction and occupancy. Using appropriate filters and ensuring they are properly maintained reduces dust and other pollutants in the indoor environment, making it a clear, actionable component of the plan. Landscaping and water efficiency aren’t about indoor air contaminants, and while ventilation strategies matter for diluting pollutants, the filtration step is the specific mechanism that removes particulates, making it the best-fitting component.
