In 2016, ISHRAE had released the first of its kind ISHRAE IEQ Standard: 10001-2016, defining three levels for various parameters, relevant to Indian context as well as matching global levels of IEQ. Many organizations including green building rating agencies responded positively to the release of this standard, and adopted its recommendations in the design practices and evaluation methods for IEQ. Based upon the experience of implementing the first version of IEQ Standard, feedback from various stakeholders, and following global best practices for keeping any standard updated with technological and market developments, a new committee was set up for reviewing and modifying the standard. The committee has prepared Draft ISHRAE IEQ Standard: 10001-2019 (second edition). ISHRAE has called for review of the draft, and invites suggestions for modifications/changes in the draft for its improvement. The last date for submitting comments is April 30.
