Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessments include the evaluation of the building systems with respect to thermal comfort and biological/chemical pollutants that may have an adverse effect on the health and/or productivity of the occupants.  RJB experienced professionals can provide comprehensive building system surveys to include inspection of the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems and exterior building envelope to identify areas of concern, such as moisture and mold growth that may impact the IAQ and provide remedial corrective recommendations.

Asbestos

RJB promotes value-added solutions to environmental liability situations for clients from an initial Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) due diligence for real estate transactions to the decommissioning of an industrial facility or redevelopment of a Brownfield property with known or suspected site contamination. A team of professionals reviews pre-existing site documentation, performs site assessments, and conducts air, water, and soil monitoring as may be indicated. 

Based on the findings, feasibility studies and the remedial design and monitoring are implemented

in compliance with Federal and State regulatory requirements.

Microbial & Building Sciences

Building Sciences can be defined as the collection of scientific knowledge and 
experience that focuses on the analysis, evaluation and control of the physical agents affecting 
buildings and typically includes the detailed analysis of building materials, building envelope, 
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning systems (HVAC), natural and electrical 
lighting, acoustics,  moisture, and  indoor air quality.  

The predominant issue of building assessment that RJB addresses is moisture burden, both from interior sources and moisture incursion through building envelope components. Moisture impacts can occur during new construction to unprotected building materials or to materials unprotected after installation.
