SMART SUSTAINABILITY
GHG MONITORING AND IEQ ADVISORY
DUAL ENGINES OF DECARBONISATION
Why greenhouse gas monitoring and indoor environmental quality advisory are vital for net-zero strategies
Kushmita Bose
In today’s rapidly evolving climate-conscious world, smart sustainability is no longer optional — it’s essential. As global regulations tighten and businesses increasingly prioritise ESG performance, two pillars stand out in the path to lowcarbon transformation: greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) advisory.
At the heart of sustainable development lies GHG monitoring. It’s the foundation for every credible decarbonisation strategy. Accurate measurement of emissions — Scope 1, 2, and 3 allows businesses to understand their carbon footprint, identify highemission areas, and implement targeted reduction strategies. Leveraging smart technologies such as IoT sensors, AI-powered analytics, and real-time dashboards, companies can now track emissions with greater accuracy and transparency than ever before. Equally critical, but often overlooked, is indoor environmental quality. IEQ directly impacts occupant health, productivity, and well-being. As hybrid work models evolve, optimising air quality, lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustics within buildings becomes an ESG imperative. IEQ advisory services play a key role in ensuring built environments align with WELL and LEED standards, creating healthier, more resilient workplaces.

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) refers to the conditions within indoor spaces that influence the well-being and productivity of their occupants. It encompasses air quality, temperature, lighting, ventilation, and acoustics; all of which directly impact comfort and health in homes, offices, schools, and healthcare

facilities. Poor IEQ can contribute to a range of health issues, including headaches, respiratory problems, mental health concerns, and decreased productivity.
While many people focus on airborne contaminants, it’s equally important to consider other factors that affect IEQ. Dust, allergens, germs, and odors from dirty furniture, carpets, and unclean AC units can compromise indoor air quality. Neglected furniture can trigger skin allergies and respiratory issues, while unclean AC systems circulate musty odors, dust, bacteria, and mold spores, creating an unhealthy environment.
