Google has tracked office air quality for years, e.g. through the Aclima partnership.
That's basically because Larry Page really, really cares about it. He's kinda like your friend with a Kubrick obsession that can't stop bringing up facts:
He was on to something! Jokes aside, I think he just has a heightened sense of smell and that's why he had air filters stronger than law requirements installed everywhere, at least in Mountain View.

Quite possible. I have a very strong sense of smell ever since I started hormone replacement therapy and it's driving me crazy how people can put up with some bad smells.
- I can pinpoint mold with a surprising accuracy -- it's everywhere, you'd be scared.
- I can tell when a bathroom is not properly ventilated -- had the office test it out and they changed the entire air ventilation system of that part of the building because it was not up to code.
- I could even smell if the driver in front of me is smoking in their windows closed car while I'm driving behind it with my own windows closed -- changed my air filters.
I'm absolutely certain that a lot of buildings are lacking in air quality and if I were the owner of any industrial or commercial building I'd make sure to invest in top quality air filter.
