Indoor Air Quality Testing for LEED Certification

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the U.S. Green Building Council’s program for green building design, construction, operation and maintenance. This certification program provides third-party verification that energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, indoor environmental quality, and resource conservation are optimized.

The Indoor Environmental Quality category of the LEED certification program awards points for measuring and improving indoor air quality and considers the impact of temperature, humidity and airborne contaminants.

  2. Once you have the room adequately sealed and the area to be treated damped down you can start to clean. Thoroughly clean using soap and then disinfect with a preparation specifically made to kill mold. Black mold may be growing in areas where it is not visible so you need to clean all the surfaces where the spores may have landed.
