Hands-On IAQ

  • Do you know where over 90 percent of the sources of IAQ problems start?
  • Are you confident in your investigations of building enclosures and HVAC systems?
  • Do you know when and how to take settled dust, wall cavity, and surface samples?
  • Are you up-to-date on the latest evidence-based information on health effects?
  • Do your reports adequately and clearly inform your client or employer of your findings?
  • Are you able to calculate the costs of poor indoor air quality for a building?

If you answered any of these questions with a “no,” please join us for a practical approach to assessing indoor air quality.  In addition to up-to-date information on health effects, costs of poor indoor air quality, and sources of problems, you will have an opportunity to perform building enclosure and HVAC assessments, take samples, and write a report.
