How an IAQ Management Program Works

Phase 1: Establish Baseline Conditions

Initial testing is performed throughout the building to establish a baseline environmental profile.

This may include:

• Classrooms

• Offices

• Hallways

• Conference rooms

• HVAC zones

• Nurse stations

• Locker rooms

• Auditoriums

• High occupancy areas

The goal is to understand what “normal” looks like for the building.

Phase 2: Identify Environmental Outliers

Not every room behaves the same. IAQ management doesn't treat every building or even every room the same.

Certain areas may experience elevated conditions due to:

• HVAC imbalances

• Water intrusion

• High humidity

• Poor ventilation

• Excess occupancy

• Carpet contamination

• Hidden microbial growth

• Outdoor air infiltration

By comparing environmental readings throughout the building, facility managers can identify “hot spots” that may require additional investigation or corrective action.

Phase 3: Ongoing Monitoring with IAQ Testing

An effective IAQ Management Program is not a one-time event.

Periodic testing can help:

• Track seasonal changes

• Monitor building performance

• Evaluate post-remediation conditions

• Support maintenance planning

• Respond to occupant complaints

• Validate HVAC improvements

This creates a data-driven approach to environmental management rather than relying solely on assumptions or reactive responses.
