Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality problems (both real and perceived) can be an expensive and potentially devastating occurrence to a building owner or manager. Many companies now elect to conduct Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) evaluations as part of their due diligence processes when buying or selling structures. IAQ assessments are also conducted in response to building occupant concerns or complaints.

Solving indoor air quality problems demands both technical expertise and sensitivity to the concerns and fears of the occupants. At ETSI, we take the time to truly study a building and its potential sources of IAQ problems.

Our Indoor Air Quality Services include:

• Review the as-built drawings in an effort to identify construction materials that may affect air quality

• Evaluate the ventilation system operating parameters and specifications

• Review the maintenance and service schedules for the building's ventilation and air conditioning systems

• Sample the duct interiors and registers and check the air flow for colony-forming units of mold and bacteria

• Use hand-held, direct reading instruments, so we can trace the potential focus of indoor air quality problems.
