Healthy Building Services • Diagnostic Services • Laboratory Services

Indoor Environmental Engineering (IEE) is a building science consulting firm with 27 years of experience diagnosing building air quality problems and designing healthy and energy efficient indoor environments. Our staff of professional engineers, building scientists, and industrial hygienists use state-of-the-art field assessment instrumentation and computer simulation models to investigate ventilation and air quality issues in wide range of building occupancy types, including office, hospital, school, laboratory, and single and multi-family residential.

Our Services Include:

Healthy Building Services. IEE provides building material emission testing/modeling, ventilation system performance assessments, construction & renovation practice plans, and indoor air quality operation & maintenance procedures, We also provide all USGBC LEED ventilation and indoor air quality testing certifications.

Diagnostic Services. IEE utilizes annual proactive IAQ Checkups™ to help maintain comfortable work environments and identify IAQ problems early, thus minimizing occupant complaints. In response to occupant concerns, we utilize a hypothesis-based six-step protocol to quickly and accurately diagnose building air quality problems and prescribe effective mitigation measures. These services include ventilation and air contaminant measurements/modeling, microbial inspections and clearance inspections, tracer gas and air pressure investigations of odor intrusion problems.

Laboratory Services. IEE has state-of-the-art analytical and ventilation laboratories to accommodate all the needs of IAQ investigations and research studies.

Indoor Environmental Engineering is committed to the advancement of energy efficient buildings with healthy indoor environments.
