SUMMARY

Clear Insight Into Basic
Indoor Air Conditions

IAQ testing measures simple indoor environmental indicators—such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), temperature, humidity, particulates, and VOCs—to identify potential comfort concerns or air conditions that may require attention.

These readings provide a snapshot of the indoor environment. They do not include ventilation rate calculations, airflow diagnostics, or HVAC system performance analysis.

WHAT IS IAQ TESTING

Our Testing Process

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing is a non-invasive measurement of
basic indoor conditions using calibrated handheld equipment.

In other terms, we measure what the air feels like, not how the HVAC
system is operating behind the scenes.

IAQ testing includes measurements of:
  • Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
  • Temperature
  • Relative humidity
  • Particulate levels (PM2.5/PM10)
  • VOCs (general indicator of chemical
    presence)
  • Basic qualitative observations (e.g., odors,
    stagnant areas)
IAQ testing does not include:
  • Mechanical performance testing
  • Ventilation rate calculations
  • Air balancing or airflow diagnostics
  • HVAC system troubleshooting

WHEN IAQ TESTING IS NEEDED

Common Reasons
for IAQ Testing

Dallas Green Building Program Requirements

The City of Dallas Green Building Program
requires post-construction IAQ testing as part of
its indoor environmental quality pathway. This
includes measuring CO₂, temperature, humidity,
and particulates in representative spaces prior
to occupancy.

IAQ testing is commonly requested by:

  • Projects pursuing Dallas Green compliance
  • Contractors completing Dallas project
    closeout
  • Owners preparing documentation for final
    approval
Occupant Comfort Concerns

When occupants report comfort issues, IAQ
readings can help identify space-level
environmental patterns without requiring a
diagnosis of mechanical systems.

Before Re-Occupying or Reconfiguring a Space

IAQ testing is useful during tenant
improvements, space reconfiguration, or
changes in occupancy.

Seasonal Transitions

Buildings often perform differently between
heating and cooling seasons.

Odors or General Air Concerns

IAQ testing helps determine whether the indoor environment warrants deeper evaluation by mechanical professionals.

WHAT WE MEASURE

IAQ Testing Scope

IAQ testing includes measurement and documentation of:

CO₂ concentration

Temperature

Relative humidity

Particulate levels (PM2.5/PM10)

VOC readings

Basic qualitative observations of indoor air conditions

We do not calculate ventilation rates, evaluate outside air delivery, or diagnose air distribution issues.

WHY IAQ TESTING MATTERS

Practical Data for
Compliance and
Comfort

IAQ testing provides:

Documentation for Dallas Green
Building compliance

A baseline understanding of indoor environmental conditions

Quick confirmation of potential air
quality concerns

Clear information to determine whether additional evaluation is needed

Practical data to support comfort-related discussions

It helps teams understand the air quality, not the condition of the equipment.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Clear, Compliant IAQ Documentation

The IAQ testing report typically includes:

Summary of spaces tested

Recorded CO₂, temperature, humidity,
particulate, and VOC readings

Basic qualitative indoor environment notes

Photos where helpful

Clear documentation suitable for turnover
packages or Dallas Green submittals

The report does not include ventilation calculations or HVAC performance analysis.

WHAT WE NEED BEFORE TESTING

Preparing for IAQ
Testing

Before testing, we typically need:

Access to the space

Confirmation of rooms or zones requiring
testing

HVAC operating in normal or occupied mode
(if applicable)

Any applicable program requirements (such
as Dallas Green documentation formats)

No special preparation is required.
