A brief description of the institution’s indoor air quality program(s) (including information about regular auditing or monitoring, mechanisms for occupants to register complaints, and action plans):

Auditing is done on an as needed or complaint driven basis. If we have staff in an area and there is a complaint, either through the Physical Plant work order desk or workers comp, Environmental Healthy & Safety is asked to check the area.  We use EPA guidelines for acceptable indoor air quality and commonly check for temperature, humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, noxious odors, employee interview, etc.  If moisture intrusion has occurred, we look for signs of moisture, which includes checking surfaces with a moisture meter and scanning areas with a thermal imaging camera.  If mold is observed or if staff requests, we use  a Zefon pump and Air-O-Cell cassettes and/or tape strip to sample the area in question.
