Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction.
 
There is an Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) component to this process. Credits are earned by conducting indoor air testing to show that contaminant levels do not exceed the levels noted.
 
Galson has created a LEED testing kit that includes everything needed to conduct the IEQ air testing for LEED credit. Call client services toll-free at (888) 432-5227, click on the “IH Live Online Chat” icon or the “Push to Talk” icon to find out more and get a quote!

Q: How many samples do I need to take?
