I thought the only people involved in IAQ were highly qualified personnel who are highly trained. Given this, how can I possibily consider doing IAQ work?
It is correct that there are people with titles such as IAQ Specialist, Certified Hygienist, Mold RemidiatorRemediator, etc. who are specially trained, however there are some IAQ tests that HVAC/R specialists can be performing as they’re doing their predictive maintenance and installation work. These job functions are complimentary and you should be able to help one another provide both of your clients with the healthiest building possible. As an HVAC/R professional you should be able to provide an IAQ assessment that at least includes temperature, humidity, and particulate counts. Depending upon those results you may be able to fix the problem or you may need to call in someone who specializes in these issues.
