    3. Indoor Air Quality Services

    In response to the energy crisis of the 1970s, HVAC system and building envelope design (or renovations) have been constructed to diminish the infiltration of outside air, thereby conserving precious energy resources. This reduced infiltration in conjunction with the introduction of newly formulated office products that contribute to indoor air pollution, air distribution systems designed to meet obsolete criteria, represent factors that significantly contribute to employee complaints, rising absenteeism and insurance costs, millions of dollars lost annually in worker productivity and possible litigation.

    Coastal Environmental provides one of the most comprehensive indoor air quality evaluation, management and pollution control/mitigation services. Our team of professionals uses a client specific approach to ameliorate problem situations, evaluates a building's indoor environment, attempts to identify the most likely cause(s) of the complaints and devises a cost-effective refurbishment and/or mitigation program. HVAC engineers, industrial hygienists, architects, laboratory analysts and mechanical hygiene experts work together to provide one of the most comprehensive, nationwide, IAQ service offerings available by one environmental firm in the field today.
