The sampling area, sampling location selection criteria, and lowest sampling numbers recommendation were chosen according to information from US EPA and Hong Kong. Potable or direct-reading devices were first utilized to find the worst location within the indoor air quality section. Standard sampling methods announced by Environmental Analysis Laboratory were then utilized for certification of good IAQ management. As for the labeling system, the project proposed two program according to international information:one is to use the value recommended by EPA as the classification method used in Hong Kong which divided into good and excellent classes. Another one is to integrate green material labeling information, ISO14000, and indoor air pollutant levels into one labeling system with three levels.

For the third goal, the project has developed indoor air quality improvement guide for office buildings, hospitals, shopping mall, movie theaters and residential home, and also provided suggestion for future management and regulation development or amendment for different responsible sectors.
For the fourth goal, besides the indoor air quality website has been built, an international conference was held in October which gathered IAQ professionals from Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to share experiences. Through the conference and several consultant meetings and sectors coordination meetings, strategies have been gradually developed for future IAQ management.
