Many companies across North America are recognizing the benefits of integrating proactive indoor air quality audits into their preventative maintenance programs for their building portfolios.  A typical proactive IAQ audit program includes for components:

• Walkthrough inspection and review of the HVAC system operational configuration
• Instantaneous IAQ measurements at multiple locations on a typical working day
• Continuous IAQ monitoring for one week at a central location
• Analysis and reporting, including comparison with past IAQ audit data

Companies can accrue multiple benefits form the implementation of a proactive IAQ audit program, including assurance that their staff and clients are working and doing business in healthy and comfortable buildings; their buildings are being effectively maintained; and are being operated in a cost effective and energy efficient way.
