Introduction

Enthalpy provides indoor air testing services for a variety of air quality concerns and in many different settings. For over 25 years, our advanced lab and indoor air quality (iaq) testing technology have benefited Fortune 500 companies and IAQ professionals across the country and internationally.

We average 12-16 breaths per minute. How much do you know about the quality of the air you breathe in the most common environments where you spend your time?

Enthalpy offers comprehensive testing solutions that will give you a total assessment of the air you breathe every day. Whether you need to test the air in your own home, want to ensure your team has healthy air to breathe in the office, or need to test for specific air contaminants like mold, formaldehyde, or carcinogens, Enthalpy can help determine which analysis is best for your air quality concerns.

Why test?

IAQ by Type

Residential

IAQ HOME SURVEY™

Home air quality is a growing health issue throughout the US. Most homeowners and potential home buyers are not aware there is an accurate and inexpensive way to determine the level of unwanted chemicals in home air. Additionally, many states and lending institutions now recommend that a home air quality audit be performed during a property sale. A home inspector can easily and cost-effectively perform an air audit in conjunction with the home inspection.

Residential air quality can be challenging to assess because of the variety of building types, conditions, and possible VOC sources. Our IAQ Home Survey™ is an accurate, simple to use and cost-effective tool for use in determining airborne chemicals (VOCs) and actively growing mold (MVOCs) in home air. With a single sample, IAQ Home Survey™ reports the air quality via the total levels of VOCs (TVOC) and MVOCs (TMVOC). Most importantly, the chemical information is translated into categories of potential sources. This allows an action plan for improving air quality to be developed. In the case of a real estate transaction, it identifies the chemical contamination contributed by the structure versus occupant activities.

IAQ Home Survey™ is a cost-effective tool for indoor air quality assessments.

Commercial

COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, DAYCARES AND SCHOOLS, OFFICES, RETAIL, RESTAURANTS, WAREHOUSES

Work environments can contain a myriad of sources that produce unwanted chemicals (VOCs) in the air. Couple that with insufficient ventilation and the resulting air breathed by building occupants can adversely affect productivity, work quality, and worker health. A large portion of the population spends significant time in commercial and office buildings. Related indoor air quality complaints and problems should be taken seriously and addressed appropriately.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of air testing options for chemicals and particulates. This allows for detailed investigations that are driven by the specific issue or concern. In addition to these customizable tests, we offer VOC air quality testing used for green building certification (LEED, WELL, LBC, etc.) and the IAQ Commercial Survey. IAQ Commercial Survey is a simple but comprehensive air test that can determine the extent of unwanted chemicals (VOCs) and it also predicts the sources of these chemicals. By knowing the sources, an action plan can be developed and implemented that will lead to a healthier work environment.

Knowing where to begin with reliable analytical data is key to eliminating unwanted chemicals and creating better-quality air. This leads to increased worker productivity, job satisfaction, and an overall healthier workforce.

Industrial

INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING

There can be many common industrial air pollutants, including dust, soot, smoke, carbon monoxide, lead particles, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. With industrial buildings containing significant amounts of air contamination sources and often inadequate air ventilation systems, exposure to air pollution becomes problematic for many workers. Regular exposure to poor indoor air quality can cause many health effects, ranging from mildly irritating to serious health impacts, decreasing productivity and work quality.

Enthalpy offers many options for investigating employee and/or occupant complaints, odor concerns, and determining general indoor air quality with full spectrum Volatile Organic Compound analysis. Let us help you deploy your IAQ policy.
