Maintaining good indoor environment quality (IEQ) is vital especially in the healthcare setting. IEQ is directly linked to infection control because of the role it plays in protecting patients and healthcare workers against hospital acquired infections and occupational diseases.

IEQ is affected by many complex interrelated factors. A single change to the types of building systems in use, the activities taking place in a space, or facilities management practices can impact the entire indoor environment. The frequent construction, renovation and maintenance activities that occur in healthcare facilities can negatively impact indoor environmental quality and present infection risks.

For over 30 years, EH&E has been recognized as the leader in indoor environmental quality. To tackle the complexities of IEQ in the most sensitive environments, we bring a broad team of highly trained professionals in industrial hygiene, toxicology, engineering, chemistry, environmental science, building engineering, and related fields.
