Standard IAQ Investigations
AirTech’s standard IAQ investigations are designed to identify and correct air quality problems without performing excessive sampling activities. Initial services normally include, but are not limited to:
 | General visual inspection of the building | ||||||||
| Visual inspection of the HVAC system | ||||||||
| Cursory air flow & distribution evaluation | ||||||||
| Confidential interviews with building occupants | ||||||||
| Standard IAQ sampling
|
During the initial site visit, IAQ information profile sheets will be provided to the designated district and/or building representatives for completion.
If this initial visit identifies potential problem areas, additional testing may be recommended. If so, AirTech will provide an outline of these services and their associated costs to the building owner for approval. Additional services could include, but are not limited to the following:
| Microbial sampling and analysis
| ||||||||||||
| Chemical testing
| ||||||||||||
| Particulate testing
| ||||||||||||
| Ventilation testing
|
Upon completion of the initial investigation, we will develop a strategy for the remediation of the identified or suspected problem or problems. This strategy may include remediation activities, occupant awareness training, HVAC modification activities or, if the exact problem has not yet been identified, additional testing recommendations. Cost estimates will be provided for all recommended remediation or testing activities.
All information regarding the inspection, sampling, sampling results, recommendations and conclusions will be included in the inspection report provided to the building owner/client.
Services and procedures identified in this SOP are subject to change based on individual project considerations and state of the are work practices.
