Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues can affect both commercial and residential properties and can have a negative impact on personal health, well-being, comfort, and productivity. Because the source(s) of IAQ concerns are often difficult to pinpoint, and because affected personnel may experience frustration at being able to put their finger on the exact nature of the problem, the use of an experienced investigator is essential in reviewing the available data and reaching a scientific conclusion.

Jurgiel has extensive experience in identifying and evaluating the numerous potential sources of IAQ problems, including:

• Air flow issues
• Allergens
• Carbon dioxide
• Carbon monoxide
• Electromagnetic radiation
• Fibers
• Formaldehyde
• Insects
• Mold/fungus
• Odors
• Ozone
• Particulates
• Temperature/humidity issues

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building certifications are an important way for architects, builders, building owners, and property managers to demonstrate commitment to the environment.

The Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) component of the LEED v4 certification was established to ensure that the materials and means used during building construction (or renovation) do not impede the presence of healthy air quality during occupancy.

To claim the points associated with the indoor air quality assessment, LEED applicants must demonstrate compliance with all of the following elements. Jurgiel is capable of conducting this rigorous testing in accordance with the prescribed specifications.
