Join us for a discussion regarding different types of IAQ testing available when complaints arise. Weatherization and energy efficiency improvements often close up the building envelope causing chemicals and particulate to accumulate. Soon follows occupant complaints of symptoms and/or odors and fingers pointing at the contractor. The 50,000+ homes/buildings tested over the years have helped to develop the source-predictive Contamination Index used by many IAQ professionals worldwide. With this detailed information, you can better help the occupant to make indoor air quality improvements while maintaining the recent energy/weatherization benefits. We will also explore testing options for SPF Insulation complaints - is it really the foam? Please bring your questions for an interactive discussion.
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Obtain a general understanding of chemicals and particulates in the indoor air
Identify cases in which testing may be appropriate and analytical options
Review analytical results and communication of such with the interested parties
