IAQ MONITORING PROGRAMS

Routine Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

Routine IAQ monitoring provides ongoing assurance that indoor environments remain acceptable for occupants and aligned with workplace health and safety obligations.

​

Indoor conditions change over time due to occupancy, weather, building ageing, maintenance activities, and ventilation performance. Periodic monitoring assists in identifying emerging issues early and supports proactive building management.

Why Monitor IAQ?

Routine IAQ monitoring helps to:

​

• Identify biological, chemical, and particulate risks

• Verify ventilation and moisture control effectiveness

• Reduce occupant complaints and odour issues

• Demonstrate due diligence and proactive risk management

• Provide documented environmental records for stakeholders

Typical Program Inclusions

Programs are tailored to building size, use, and risk profile and may include:

​

• Annual or bi-annual site assessments

• Temperature and humidity profiling

• CO₂ monitoring as a ventilation indicator

• Targeted mould and bacterial air sampling

• Particulate matter assessment

• Surface moisture screening in high-risk areas

• Observational review of ventilation systems

• Summary reporting with trend comparison where available

Supporting WHS Obligations

Routine IAQ monitoring supports compliance with Australian Work Health and Safety legislation by assisting in hazard identification, risk assessment, and verification of control measures.
