LEED Indoor Air Quality
LEED O+M: Existing Buildings v4.1 – LEED v4.1 Indoor Environmental Quality Performance
Environmental Efficiency has significant experience in LEED V4 and V4.1 and has carried out LEED Indoor air quality assessments on sites in Europe and Africa.
Indoor Air Quality measurements across the building envelope that are defined as Regularly Occupied. The testing is required as part of the LEED EQc4 Credits.
We offer two options for LEED Indoor Air Quality Testing Kits outlined below. For additional details on methods (USEPA approved only), techniques, reporting limits and more, please contact us.
