Information may not be reliable

Since 1989, Environmental Building Sciences, Inc. (EBSI) has specialized in forensic studies and cutting-edge research of indoor environmental hazards and building science. Our focus is on:

promoting holistic and sustainable approaches to building design, construction, and operation, and

developing and delivering training materials and programs on building science and environmental issues for a variety of governmental, academic, and private clients.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) investigations have been conducted in commercial, residential, and school structures in many regions of the country. This work has included interviews with affected occupants, inspections of buildings and ventilation equipment, and measurements of a broad range of indoor air pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, respirable particles, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, biological (mold and bacteria), radon, and others.

EBSI also has the experience and capabilities to perform sophisticated evaluations of ventilation systems using blower door, air flow, and tracer gas instrumentation. To transfer this scientific and technical information to the general public, EBSI has led the development and testing of environmental assessment tools and protocols for homes, schools, and child care.

Energy use and management, and efficient design are integral to any building consultation, and are merged with evaluations of indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
EBSI is well-equipped for data collection, archiving, processing, and analysis through stationary and portable computer resources, and the capabilities of its associates. Our QA/QC program is supported by routine maintenance and calibration of the monitoring equipment, inspection of data acquisition instrumentation, and excellent record keeping and chain of custody of critical documents.
