INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY & MICROBIAL ASSESSMENTS – Providing Safe and Healthy Environments

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is an increasing concern for building management. Odors, occupant concerns, visible staining and mold growth are general indicators of an issue with a building system. HSS’s services include assessments and inspections, project design and management through the remediation process, and post-remediation verification and clearance testing to ensure the effectiveness of the remediation efforts.

Health Systems Sciences can provide consultation and management of bacterial or fungal IEQ issues effecting your facility.

FIRE DAMAGE AND COMBUSTION ASSESSMENT SERVICE – Restoring Normalcy in the Face of Chaos

Fires are a catastrophic event that can create far-reaching issues beyond just the easily identifiable impacted area. Health Systems Sciences can conduct combustion by-product testing to help delineate the impacted areas and provide post fire-remediation verification to ensure the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. In addition, HSS can perform the required asbestos and regulated material surveys to get the remediation and reconstruction efforts underway.

Health Systems Sciences can provide consultation and management support for fire restoration and remediation projects.

ASBESTOS AND OTHER REGULATED MATERIAL SURVEYS, DESIGN & MANAGEMENT – Environmental Due Diligence & Liability Coverage

Regulated materials, such as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paints (LBP) and other regulated waste, are an issue that clients need to consider prior to conducting a property transaction, or when planning renovation or demolition activities. Federal and State rules and regulations require property owners to assess and manage the potential presence of ACM (of any age building) and LBP (buildings constructed prior to 1979) before beginning renovation or demolition activities. Failure to comply with survey requirements can result in significant fines and project delays.

Health Systems Sciences has certified/licensed individuals to conduct the required surveys and help our clients navigate to vast array of rules and regulations in a timely manner.

FACILITY & HVAC COMMISSIONING – Optimizing Your Facility Systems

Air quality is always a concern for facility directors, building supervisors and property managers. A comfortable environment, with sufficient ventilation to dilute and remove contaminants, is an essential component of any building, facility, or residence. A proper system provides conditioned air and assists in controlling the transmission of airborne infection.

In addition, a well maintained HVAC system conserve energy and reduces overhead cost.
