Concerns about indoor air quality, especially in the workplace, are on the rise. Studies have shown that symptoms of “sick building syndrome” afflict 10 to 25 million workers in more than one million buildings in the United States. Because it impacts the health, comfort, and productivity of building occupants, indoor air quality is a growing issue among businesses, building managers, tenants, and employees alike.
Apex has more than a decade’s experience with indoor air quality investigations, monitoring, analysis, corrective action plans, and training. Whether you need quick response to a crisis situation or want a proactive solution to reduce the potential for indoor air quality problems, we can help. We have provided indoor air quality solutions in such diverse environments as office buildings, schools, manufacturing plants, utilities, hospitals, museums, restaurants, retail stores, and military facilities. As a result, we have experience with both common problems, such as mold, as well as more elusive problems.
Assessment and Corrective Action: An indoor air quality investigation is essential for both detection and prevention. Our professionals have extensive field experience and can help you avoid expensive, long-term studies. Corrective action plans, if required, are implemented in a timely and cost-effective manner. A typical assessment includes:
- Interviews with building occupants
- Facility inspection
- Evaluation of ventilation system
- Air quality monitoring
- Mitigation planning
- Training
- Follow-up assessment
