Tenants in commercial buildings often wonder about the quality of the air in their workplace. They may even negotiate an Indoor Air Quality clause in their lease agreement requiring documentation of acceptable IAQ.
Building owners and facilities managers want to assure the occupants of their buildings that indoor air quality is given high priority.
One way to satisfy the concerns that building occupants may have regarding IAQ assurances from property managers is to retain the services of an impartial, qualified third party.
Following a review of the preventive maintenance program, a physical inspection of the mechanical air handling systems, an assessment of HVAC system performance, a review of management practices, etc., a certification of indoor air quality can be given.
Recommendations to improve any deficiencies in building hygiene practices will help property managers to prevent incidents that may reflect negatively upon themselves and their facility.
