The partnership will include the naming of a Honeywell Indoor Air Quality Laboratory at Syracuse University's College of Engineering and Computer Science which will be used by researchers to help create healthier and safer building environments.\nHoneywell to fund research by Syracuse University's College of Engineering and Computer Science on indoor air qualityAir quality is essential to a healthy building. It can impact occupant health and productivity, energy efficiency and real estate value. The quality of air is affected by the presence of pollutants in the indoor environment that may cause harm. When IAQ is poor, occupants can experience a drop in productivity as well as adverse health effects such as asthma and bronchitis.1 The concentration of some pollutants can be two to five times higher indoors than typical outdoor concentrations.2\n\"Indoor air quality isn't a buzz word – it's a critical factor in creating safer, healthier building environments,\" said Manish Sharma, vice president and chief technology and product officer, Honeywell Building Technologies. \"Our work with Syracuse will measure the performance of a variety of emerging indoor air quality technologies to not only improve occupant productivity and well-being but also help building owners understand the best solutions for different building environments and situations. In the long term, this will help them to better attract occupants, manage energy efficiency and improve their real estate value.\" \n\"This is a fantastic partnership, and we're excited to work with Honeywell on indoor air quality research that benefits people all over the world,\" said J. Cole Smith, dean, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Syracuse University. \"Professors Jensen Zhang and Bing Dong have been at the forefront of indoor air quality research and the Honeywell Indoor Air Quality Lab at Link Hall will enhance our world-class research abilities.\" \n\...
