At Ecolibria we specialise in indoor air quality monitoring and air quality testing. Air sampling and air monitoring is specific and specialised meters, gauges and other equipment are utilised in accordance with the client’s specific requirements.  We utilise the latest and most advanced metering equipment and air sampling methods available. Equipment is calibrated before use and calibration certificates are available on request. As building design and material experts, we understand how buildings and air conditioning systems work and can therefore provide solutions to any problems discovered during the air quality assessment. Whether you have air quality concerns that require specific chemical sampling (VOC testing) in relation to new builds and renovations or complex mould contamination issues, we can help.

It is important to note that there is NO STANDARD, CATCH-ALL AIR QUALITY TEST.  When air quality is requested, we first need to discuss the client’s concerns to ascertain what to test for. There are many different methods, equipment, laboratories, types of analyses and exposure guidelines that relate to multiple possible air contaminants.

When you go to a health practitioner because you are feeling ill, they would generally ask a lot of questions and then examine you to try and provide a diagnosis. Based on information you provide, the health practitioner would usually then request specific tests to assist with the diagnosis and treatment.

As qualified and experienced building biologists we go through a similar process. We ask questions about the history of health issues that anyone may be experiencing, as well as the history of the property and any specific events that may have affected the property.

We then examine the property thoroughly and conduct some tests to try and diagnose the problem with the building and indoor environment. More specific testing may possibly be required but most often the inspection, questioning and some initial tests conducted, provide enough information.
