Business Details
Building Science Consulting Experts
Indoor Environmental Engineering (IEE) has been a leader in building science consulting for 43 years, specializing in diagnosing indoor air quality issues and designing energy-efficient, healthy indoor environments. Our team of professional engineers, building scientists, and industrial hygienists serves diverse building types, including offices, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and residential properties. We employ a hypothesis-driven six-step diagnostic protocol to identify air quality problems and implement effective solutions using state-of-the-art instrumentation. Our Healthy Building Services include annual IAQ CheckUps, emissions testing, ventilation assessments, and air quality management plans. Our laboratories provide advanced analysis of chemical emissions, ventilation performance, and air cleaner efficiencies.We are committed to advancing sustainable, energy-efficient indoor environments while addressing emerging challenges like wildfire smoke and pandemic-related ventilation needs. Our expertise extends to expert witness services, chemical emissions from materials like SPF insulation, and mold remediation guidance. We actively contribute to industry knowledge through publications and research on topics such as e-cigarette hazards and formaldehyde emissions from laminate flooring. Our work supports building operators in managing complex air quality issues, including infectious disease aerosol exposures and surge control ventilation modifications.
