Project Overview
Our client, a prominent Norwegian chemicals company specializing in decorative paints and coatings, engaged Cornerstone to conduct indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring for their new labour accommodation facility. The test was conducted in accordance with ISO/ASTM standards to earn LEED credits for their LEED rating application.
Concern
Ensuring indoor air quality parameters met LEED compliance standards post-cleaning of AC ducts in a new staff facility.
Approach
Cornerstone's team of IAQ specialists utilized high-accuracy industry-leading equipment to monitor air quality parameters such as CO2, CO, O2, Relative Humidity, and PM10. Air samples were collected according to LEED sampling methods and monitored for 8 hours per sample.
Key Highlights
- LEED Compliance: Our IAQ testing methodology adhered to LEED standards, enabling our client to achieve LEED credits for their rating application.
- High Accuracy Monitoring: We tested for a range of pollutants and contaminants to ensure compliance with LEED threshold values.
- Expedited Service: Despite the comprehensive testing requirements, we completed the entire service within one week of mobilization, aligning with the client's business timeline.
- Comprehensive Testing: Our IAQ testing covered parameters such as formaldehyde, PM10, TVOC, CO2, and 4-PCH, addressing a wide range of indoor air pollutants.
- Health and Well-being: By identifying and removing chemical contaminants and allergens, our IAQ testing contributed to improving the overall health and well-being of occupants.
Outcome
Air samples were tested, and all parameters were found to comply within threshold values, resulting in the achievement of LEED credits for our client.
Conclusion
Cornerstone's commitment to excellence in IAQ testing, coupled with our expertise in LEED compliance, enabled us to support our client's sustainability goals and ensure a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
Next Steps
We remain dedicated to providing comprehensive IAQ testing and correction services to enhance the health and well-being of individuals, families, and businesses, while also supporting sustainability initiatives through LEED compliance.
