Development of a Framework for Indoor Air Quality Assessments in Energy Conservation Districts

•Development of a framework for monitoring and addressing indoor air pollution in the context of an energy conservation district (ECD).•Establishment of an indoor air quality (IAQ) survey for replicability across communities and studies.•The translation of technical science to the broader public and professional communities offer sound guidance regarding ongoing building operation and maintenance (O&M).•Basic environmental parameters provide some insight on criteria air pollutants.•Prioritizing IAQ management has the potential to drive indirect financial gains while fundamentally advancing corporate culture and performance.
