Hi folks,

There was a lot of interest on the call yesterday in the article that Kim showed from a host of leading IAQ experts.

Hi folks, I was asking around during Greenbuild and getting a variety of answers on this, and since our Contractor Commitments make a distinction between "GC's" mobile equipment as scope 1 and "Sub's" mobile equipment as scope 3.
