The facility manager is managing an office renovation. The entire renovated area is to be re-carpeted with synthetic roll carpet over the weekend. What should be done prior to installation?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Off-gassing the carpet off-site (Option C) is the best approach to reduce indoor air quality (IAQ) issues caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Why Option C is Correct?
* New carpets release VOCs, which can cause headaches, respiratory issues, and poor indoor air quality.
* Off-gassing before installation reduces exposure to occupants.
* IFMA's Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability Core Competency emphasizes proactive indoor air quality management.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
* Option A (Wrapping carpet in plastic): Trapping carpet in plastic may intensify VOC buildup and does not remove harmful chemicals.
* Option B (Opening windows): While ventilation helps, off-gassing before installation is the most effective solution.
