Comprehensive Indoor Air Quality Assessment.
- Analysis
of the building design
- Analysis
of the building construction
- Analysis
of the building operation and maintenance
- Report
detailing the findings of the analysis
and areas contributing to the poor Indoor
Air Quality
The Remediation Process
Phase I: Site Inspection
Perform initial site inspection making a general
assessment of problems
Assess the visible extent of mold and other indoor
air pollutants
Assess the possible causes of excess moisture
Discuss with maintenance personnel any recurring
problems
Define communication protocols Phase II: Indoor Air Quality Assessment
- Collect architectural,
structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical
as-built drawings
- Collect
test & balance reports
for the HVAC systems.
- Perform building systems
site survey
- Identify sources of pollutants
- Perform detailed
onsite investigation
- Submit collected data for
engineering analysis
- Interview maintenance personnel
- Submit reports
to the owner identifying corrective measures
and possible remediation
strategies
- Meet with the owner discussing,
in their entirety, the results and
conclusions of the indoor air
quality analysis
Phase III: Remediation Planning
- Define
the remediation strategy
- Establish
communication protocols
- Retain
professional services
- Determine
construction process (e.g. bids, construction
management, general
contractor)
- Begin
design based on the results of the IAQ Assessment
- Award
construction, remediation, repair, and renovation
contracts
- Proceed
with construction/remediation
Phase IV: Building Systems Commissioning
- Prepare
operation, maintenance and spare parts manuals
- Prepare
as-built drawings
- Perform
commissioning tests
- Prepare
an IAQ maintenance plan
- Train
maintenance personnel in
proper operation/maintenance
techniques
