Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Services

Indoor environments are highly complex and building occupants may be exposed to a variety of contaminants (in the form of gases and particles) from office machines, cleaning products, construction activities, carpets and furnishings, perfumes, cigarette smoke, water-damaged building materials, microbial growth (fungal, mold, and bacterial), insects, and outdoor pollutants. Other factors such as indoor temperatures, relative humidity, and ventilation levels can also affect how individuals respond to the indoor environment. Understanding the sources of indoor environmental contaminants and controlling them can often help prevent or resolve building-related symptoms.

VOETS` IEQ professionals provide a full range of indoor environmental investigations and monitoring to determine adherence to established comfort and ventilation parameters, and environmental quality guidelines to evaluate occupant complaints and address symptoms in relation to potential building or site-related sources. VOETS` approach considers potential sources, including biological, chemical, ergonomic, physical, and psychological factors.
