Since the 1970s, buildings have been designed to conserve energy. This has resulted in "tighter" buildings that can trap a wide variety of biological and chemical contaminants leading to adverse health effects and complaints from building occupants. RMEC has specific experience and expertise in performing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) investigations and has performed comprehensive assessments of indoor environments for pesticides, solvents, molds, allergens and other agents.
