Testing & Analysis

Whether or not they are aware of any issues, building owners and managers are responsible for the quality of the air their occupants breathe. Testing is the only way to determine the condition of your indoor air quality and to maintain high-quality air. Ask Blue Dot about several important tests that should be executed, including:

Physical Sampling
The direct sampling of building materials (dry wall, ceiling tiles, etc.) can be analyzed to indicate current conditions and potential problems. Possible biological growths can also be sampled and analyzed to determine the nature of the issue and guide accurate recommendations on its severity.

Water & Air Quality Testing
Water sampling helps determine the effect water in your mechanical system has on your equipment. Based on these samples, proper chemical or nonchemical treatment can be instituted to correct any issues that may exist. Air quality and quantity can be tested and analyzed to determine what is in the air and how much. As a result, accurate recommendations can be made to improve your indoor environment though modifications such as filtration, purification, or distribution system upgrades.

Third-Party Analysis
Modern methods of indoor air quality (IAQ) testing can include an independent third party to analyze the results. This is a good practice because it offers you two different perspectives on your results, giving you a better understanding of the big picture.
