Question
Applicability
Applicable to Office, Healthcare, Enclosed Shopping Centre, Universal and Multi-Unit Residential buildings
Answer
- Annually
- Alternating Seasons
- None
Description
Annual IAQ testing can assist in confirming if HVAC systems are operating properly and if occupants are comfortable in the working environment.
Most IAQ complaints are received during either the heating or cooling seasons so it is best to conduct the testing during these seasons. Provide the dates of the last IAQ assessments and that they have alternated between heating and cooling seasons to achieve additional points.
Requirements
Provide copies of each IAQ Assessment Report completed within the past three years.
Documentation
- At least 3 past IAQ Assessment Reports
Adapted BB3 Question

Other Notes
Testing in alternating seasons means an applicant may test in the Fall in one year and in the Spring in the next year, and again in the Fall the following year. Meaning the time that went by between audits may vary, it could be six months or 18 months. The value of conducting audits in alternating seasons means the building operations and maintenance team may gain insights on differences in IAQ in different seasons.
Scoring
3 or 5 Points
