LFR conducts diagnostic IAQ evaluations by reviewing each building's ventilation system design and operating procedures. In addition, the HVAC system's preventive maintenance program is evaluated and the condition of the system components is inspected, including air filters, condensate drain pans, cooling coils, and distribution mechanisms.


If an IAQ evaluation reveals active or potential contaminant sources, LFR can conduct additional air sampling and analysis to determine the extent of impact to the indoor environment. LFR has performed customized IAQ sampling evaluations for a variety of air contaminants including volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, and airborne dusts, as well as pesticides and combustion products.

LFR has conducted microbial investigations and water intrusion evaluations at a wide variety of locations including industrial facilities, hospitals and health care facilities, and residential and commercial office properties. LFR inspects for microbial amplification sources such as humidifiers, ineffective vapor barriers, condensation units, HVAC and building systems, and water damaged areas. LFR can sample these sources using state-of-the-art methodologies to determine the concentration and species of bioaerosols.

LFR can develop remediation protocols and project specifications to eliminate microbial contamination and prevent future occurrences. In addition, LFR can monitor the performance of the environmental contractor, conduct post-remediation validation testing to document that remediation efforts were thorough and effective, and assist with reconstruction activities.
