Mold, Bioaerosol & Moisture Investigations
A broad range of health problems, including infections and toxic effects, have been described as being related to mold exposures. As new buildings get tighter and old buildings start to leak, the potential for increased mold growth increases. Accordingly, mold has become a major challenge for building owners and managements. Indoor Environment can help reduce the problems associated with mold thanks to our team of qualified individuals that are able to address the full spectrum of fungal and moisture problems in a coordinated manner.
Our experience in mold investigation allows us quickly assess the location and extent of problems. Many of our mold investigations entail only a visual examination of the facility. Sampling and testing activities are performed only in cases where the location or extent of the mold contamination are not evident. We will identify not only where the mold and water damage are present but we will also tell you how it got there and how to prevent it from coming back.

Building Commissioning
Building commissioning is a systematic process of ensuring that a building performs in accordance with the design intent, contract documents, and the owner's operational needs. Due to the sophistication of building designs and the complexity of building systems constructed today, commissioning is necessary, but not automatically included as part of the typical design and construction process. Commissioning is critical for ensuring that the design developed through the whole-building design process is successfully constructed and operated.
Although commissioning originally was created to ensure that HVAC systems were properly specified and installed, this process can be applied to virtually any building system including Mechanical, Electric, Plumbing, and Fire Protection Systems. While the focus was originally on system operation, experience throughout the country has shown that properly commissioning HVAC and control systems can result in significant energy savings and also produce other benefits such as reduced buildings operations problems and improved occupant comfort.
Indoor Environment Group can assemble a cooperative commissioning team to help you create effective, efficient, high performance buildings.
LEED Certification
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. USGBC's members, representing every sector of the building industry, developed and continue to refine LEED. LEED recognizes achievements and promotes expertise in green building through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources. Indoor Environment Group can provide assistance during every step from cost-benefit analysis to the application submittal process.

Indoor Air Quality Management Programs
Indoor Air Quality Management Programs provide an outline for establishing and maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in your facility. Each program is written specifically for the target facility and is designed to meet all requirements of the proposed OSHA standard for Indoor Air Quality. More importantly, however, your program will help reduce or even prevent Indoor Air Quality issues in your facility.
