Indoor Air Quality Program

Indoor Air Wellness: verified building performance.

Ongoing IAQ checkpoints for schools and commercial buildings. Respond to occupant concerns with data, not reaction, backed by third-party science and a certification you can display.

From guesswork to documented data

Without regular IAQ monitoring, buildings operate on assumptions. The Indoor Air Wellness Program replaces guesswork with scheduled checkpoints and objective data you can share with occupants and administrators.

Complaints with no data to back a response

When occupants report headaches, odors, or respiratory symptoms, facilities staff scramble to respond without objective measurements. Reactive fixes often miss the real cause, and concerns linger.

Documented checkpoints and a certification to show for it

Regular third-party IAQ testing gives administrators hard data to share with students, employees, and stakeholders. The ESG Verified Building certification signals that your facility's indoor air quality is tested by an independent third party, with documentation you can share.

ESG evaluates and documents environmental conditions. ESG does not diagnose medical conditions or determine whether a building condition caused symptoms. Results may be shared with a qualified healthcare provider.

What your Indoor Air Wellness Program includes

ESG builds a customized recurring plan around your facility's layout, usage, and history, so the checkpoints cover representative areas as well as individual zones like dorms, closed offices, or high-complaint areas. Most programs run quarterly or biannually, and the right cadence depends on your building and scope.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) measurement, a key indicator of overall ventilation performance
Relative humidity (RH) monitoring to identify moisture conditions before they become mold issues
Optional: airborne particulates, carbon monoxide (CO), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs)
ESG Verified Building certification and logo rights for display to clients, students, and stakeholders
Staff IAQ best-practice support: procedure review, customized occupant handouts, and communication guidance

Findings apply to the accessible areas, conditions, locations, measurements, and samples evaluated at the time of service. They do not establish conditions throughout the building or guarantee future conditions.

Why ESG

Third-party testing is only valuable when there's no conflict of interest.

ESG is an independent environmental testing company. We test. We never remediate. That separation is fundamental: it helps reduce financial conflicts between evaluation and corrective work, and it gives our clients data they can share with occupants, parents, and administrators.

Our Indoor Air Wellness Program goes beyond a single test. We build a repeatable checkpoint strategy aligned to national standards and best building science practices, so your facility's IAQ performance is measured consistently over time, not just when a complaint arrives.

Program participants receive priority access to ESG's indoor environmental professionals, along with staff education support and the ESG Verified Building certification to display to anyone who asks about air quality in your building.

How the Indoor Air Wellness Program works

From the first conversation to your Verified Building certification, the program is structured to be simple for your team and scientifically rigorous for your stakeholders.

Building plans and tools laid out during facility review
1

Schedule & facility review

We review your floor plans, usage patterns, and any prior IAQ or moisture reports to design a checkpoint strategy that covers representative areas across the building, including high-concern zones.

On-site IAQ testing

ESG technicians visit your facility on the agreed schedule (quarterly or biannually is most common) using state-of-the-art equipment with regular calibration checks and manufacturer inspections.

Accredited lab analysis

Air samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories. Results are interpreted against national standards so findings are meaningful, not just numbers on a page.

Clear report & certification

You receive a plain-language written report and, for qualifying facilities, the ESG Verified Building certification with logo rights, giving you something concrete to share with everyone who asks.

Proactive program vs. reactive single test

Indoor Air Wellness Program

Ongoing, scheduled checkpoints give you a longitudinal picture of your building's air quality, and a certification to show occupants you take it seriously.

  • Repeatable baseline data across seasons
  • ESG Verified Building certification and branding
  • Priority access to ESG environmental professionals
  • Staff support: handouts, communication tools, best practices

One-time or complaint-driven testing

A single test in response to a complaint provides a snapshot, but no context, no trend data, and no credential to reassure stakeholders about ongoing performance.

  • No longitudinal comparison: one data point with no context
  • No certification or credential to display to stakeholders
  • Reactive posture: problems surface before testing begins
  • No ongoing support or best-practice guidance for staff

Independent, certified, and accountable

ESG has provided independent environmental testing from Greensboro, NC since 2002. Every program engagement is built on the same standards.

Indoor Air Wellness Program FAQ

What types of buildings benefit most from this program?

The program is an ideal fit for schools and universities (including dorms and high-occupancy buildings), commercial offices, and any organization that needs repeatable IAQ verification and a clear plan for addressing occupant concerns with data.

How often does ESG conduct checkpoint testing?

ESG builds a customized recurring plan for each facility. Quarterly or biannual (summer/winter) checkpoints are the most common, and the right cadence depends on your building's size, use, and program scope. A recurring schedule captures seasonal variation, particularly relevant for moisture and fungal spore levels, and gives your team a consistent response framework year-round.

What parameters does ESG typically test?

Standard parameters include airborne fungal spores, CO₂, and relative humidity. Optional add-ons include airborne particulates (filtration efficacy), carbon monoxide (when gas appliances are present), and TVOCs (total volatile organic compounds for chemical concerns). ESG tailors the parameter list to your building's specific risk profile.

Does ESG perform remediation if a problem is found?

No, and that's intentional. ESG tests only. We never remediate. This separation helps reduce financial conflicts between evaluation and corrective work. If issues are identified, we provide clear guidance on what needs to be addressed so you can select qualified, independent contractors.

What is the ESG Verified Building certification?

Program participants receive a professional certification confirming that their building's indoor air quality has been tested by a third-party environmental firm. You receive the right to display the ESG Verified Building logo to students, employees, clients, and stakeholders, a tangible, credible signal that you take IAQ seriously.
