Sustainable Air Quality Testing (LEED®)
SanAir’s Sustainable Air Quality team provides a simple and streamlined testing option for LEED® (3.2, V4, 4.1, as well as upcoming V5), WELL®, IAQP and IgCC® certifications.
Complex and evolving sustainable building standards demand laboratories that understand the sampling nuances that can make or break a project. SanAir’s Sustainable Air Quality testing team has experience testing to meet these often overlapping and interconnected health, environmental, and indoor air quality standards. Our full-service facility includes all necessary equipment and reports, covering every compound of concern, along with their respective contamination levels, providing one-stop shopping for our certification-seeking clients. SanAir provides sampling equipment such as canisters, bags, and hand-held instrumentation, and we offer a dedicated hotline for immediate assistance should any issues occur during your operations. We guarantee a standard analytical turnaround time of five business days, with expedited options available for same-day* service.
Health Impacts
Sustainable and healthy building standards such as LEED®, WELL®, IAQP, and IgCC® are specifically designed to enhance human health and well-being through their emphasis on natural light, ventilation, acoustics, and indoor air quality. Occupants often report improved cognitive function, energy levels, mood, and mitigated respiratory issues.
Media Offered
SanAir’s sampling uses less (yet more innovative) media and equipment. Most sampling media set up and break down require no tools or power. Media setup time is one-third of the estimated setup time of other sampling programs.
Client Training Support
SanAir supports our Sustainable Air Quality clients by providing online classes designed to clarify the various sampling programs available. Our goal is to ensure that you and your team have a comprehensive understanding of the requirements necessary to earn certification for LEED®, WELL®, IAQP, and IgCC® projects.
We offer educational sessions that explain the distinctions between different sampling programs, enabling you to make informed decisions. Our training includes guidance on potential bottlenecks that may arise on-site, ensuring that your team is prepared to address challenges effectively. Additionally, we provide training on the equipment used in the sampling process and offer a dedicated hotline for immediate assistance should any issues occur during your operations.
