Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment
Comprehensive assessments to identify and resolve air quality issues in a variety of indoor spaces. Involves testing and assessment of indoor environment to determine IAQ status.
Do You Need An IAQ Assessment?
Our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Investigations are designed to provide objective insight into the indoor air quality of a building and identify factors that may be influencing conditions within the space. An IAQ assessment typically involves site observations together with testing of relevant indoor air quality indicators.
​
The results provide an overall understanding of the air quality status of the space, identify areas of concern, and support recommendations for improving or managing indoor air quality. Findings are documented in a technical report to support informed decision-making and any corrective actions that may be required.

When Is an IAQ Assessment Necessary?
An Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment can be valuable in a range of situations, not only when obvious problems are present. Some building owners and occupants request assessments out of simple curiosity, wanting to better understand the quality of the air they breathe on a daily basis. Establishing a baseline can provide reassurance or highlight opportunities for improvement before concerns escalate.
​
IAQ assessments are also commonly requested when occupants experience persistent discomfort, unusual odours, respiratory irritation, headaches, or fatigue that they suspect may be linked to indoor environmental conditions. In these cases, an assessment helps determine whether indoor air quality factors may be contributing to what occupants are experiencing.
​
Buildings that have undergone changes, such as renovations, changes in occupancy, new furnishings, or modifications to ventilation systems, may also benefit from an IAQ assessment. These changes can influence indoor air conditions in ways that are not always immediately apparent.​
Renovation and Construction Activities
Recently Painted Indoor Spaces
High-Occupancy Indoor Spaces
In some cases, assessments are conducted proactively as part of good building management practice, particularly in commercial or institutional settings where occupant wellbeing, productivity, and confidence in the indoor environment are important considerations.
​
Whether driven by curiosity, concern, or preventive management, an IAQ assessment provides objective insight into indoor environmental conditions and supports informed decision-making.
