Indoor Environmental Quality

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is important in every home and office — wherever we spend time indoors. There are many benefits of good IEQ — from the health of our loved ones to the quality of our work environment. IEQ promotes good employee - employer relationships, reduces absenteeism, increases productivity and creates a safe and healthy workplace. IET conducts a complete physical of your building as a means to investigate building-related health concerns, or to take a proactive approach, addressing due diligence in the commercial arena to help assure good environmental quality and compliance as needed.

Indoor Air Testing

Mold, particulates and chemical contaminants all contribute to comfort or health challenges in homes and offices. We make the invisible world visible through applied science. IET's indoor air testing services are designed to determine what contaminants are present, as well as their concentration. The development of an appropriate sampling strategy and the use of the proper sampling equipment are necessary to establish a baseline for your building. Once a baseline of contaminant levels has been established, IET then develops protocols for improving the indoor environment. Sampling is only performed after a thorough client interview and building history, which is as important as the sampling itself.

Chemical/Pesticide Testing

The misuse of chemicals and pesticides can create significant health and safety challenges in homes and offices. IET can often determine what contaminants are present, their source within the building and how to reduce chemical and pesticide levels to an acceptable degree for continued, safe occupancy. There will always be a natural and least toxic alternative to all your chemical and pesticide needs. It is our goal to advise you of healthier options for the wellbeing of your building.

Investigation of Building-Associated Health Challenges

Many people feel sick when in a particular building, such as their home or office, but feel better when they leave. These conditions can be the result of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) or Building Related Illnesses (BRI). IET can help determine the cause of health challenges associated with buildings, as well as develop protocols for correcting building problems that may be contributing. IET is your builidng advocate, always searching for ways to make your building as safe and healthy as possible.

Industrial Hygiene Surveys

OSHA and other governmental and industry-related agencies regulate chemical and IEQ exposure levels, and other workplace safety and exposure criteria. Workers Compensation and insurance companies are also adamant that these issues be handled safely, and that the handling of these issues be documented properly. IET assists management in determining the exposure levels and other risks present, as well as developing programs and management plans to control them.
