The coronavirus pandemic made people more aware of IAQ, and now they want some assurances that the places where they spend time are committed to providing a healthy environment. A couple of services are emerging that help building owners demonstrate such a commitment.
One of these is the Inside Advantage certification from the Indoor Air Hygiene Institute (IAHI). The certification process begins with hygienists from the Institute conducting an on-site assessment of existing air quality throughout the facility. Following this initial assessment, customers receive a detailed report with recommendations to achieve the desired level of indoor air hygiene. Once these measures have been implemented, a hygienist returns to the facility to take subsequent readings and provide certification.
