Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) refers to the quality of a building’s environment associated to the health of occupants within it. Taking many factors in consideration, IEQ can be determined through human health, comfort, performance, and energy efficiency. Certain illnesses and symptoms affect workers when a building’s environment is inadequate.
Determining which contaminants are responsible for suspected building-related conditions can be challenging at times. TSI is committed to a better world – providing solutions to help protect people and environments.
