Buildings

On average, an individual will spend between 80 and 90% of their time in enclosed spaces: workspace, home, school, when traveling (bus, metro, car, etc.). In this regard, assessing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an essential step in many cases such as :

 

  • The search for a source of emission causing olfactory nuisances

  • Resolving occupant complaints (headaches, respiratory symptoms, etc.)

  • Implementation of ERP regulations (nurseries, nursery and primary schools, etc.)

  • Compliance with the requirements of environmental standards (HQE, LEED, BREEAM, etc.) in new or renovated buildings

 

With over 25 years of experience in the study and measurement of indoor pollutants, Airea offers its expertise in the context of indoor air quality diagnostics in buildings or puts you in touch with a partner Indoor Environmental Medical Advisor (CMEI).

Environmental building standards : 

  • Validation of air quality targets for HQE, LEED, BREEAM, WELL, DGNB, OSMOZ certifications

​

Audit & expertise for : 

  • Identifying sources of odor nuisance

  • Occupant complaints (headaches, respiratory symptoms, etc.)

  • Legal expertise

​

Implementation of ERP regulations (crèches, nursery schools, elementary school) : ​

  •  Assessment of ventilation systems

  • Support in drawing up an indoor air quality management plan

  • Measurement campaigns (formaldehyde, benzene, CO₂...)

Through these different intervention frameworks, Airea carries out measurements of a large number of parameters :

 

  • comfort parameters: CO₂, temperature, humidity

  • chemical parameters: VOCs (including benzene), aldehydes (including formaldehyde), CO, NO₂, H₂S, NH₃…

  • suspended particles (PM₁₀, PM₂₅, PM₁, black carbon, PUF…)

  • biocontaminants: bacteria, molds

  • asbestos fibers (sampling outside strategy, COFRAC analysis)

 

The completion of more than a hundred studies on the subject now allows Airea to have an internal database covering more than 150 pollutants (and more than 5,000 results) representative of many types of buildings (nurseries, schools, laboratories, offices, shops, museums, swimming pools, medical practices, workshops, factories, etc.) and strong expertise in the field of indoor air quality.
