LEED Indoor Air Quality Testing for Building Certification
Pursuing LEED certification for a new or renovated building? One of the requirements toward the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) credits is indoor air quality testing that demonstrates the space meets defined contaminant thresholds before occupancy. AERIS provides the independent IAQ testing that supports your LEED submission, which is accurate, documented, and on your timeline.

How AERIS Supports LEED Certification
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the green-building rating system administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). AERIS doesn’t issue LEED certification (USGBC does), but achieving certain credits requires third-party indoor air quality testing, and that’s where we come in. For the Indoor Air Quality Assessment credit, projects must show that contaminant concentrations (such as particulates, VOCs, and formaldehyde) fall below specified thresholds before occupants move in. AERIS performs the sampling and lab analysis and provides the documentation your project team submits.When You Need LEED IAQ Testing
You likely need this service if:- You’re a builder, developer, architect, or project manager pursuing LEED on a new construction or major renovation.
- Your project is targeting the Indoor Air Quality Assessment EQ credit.
- You need independent, third-party documentation of pre-occupancy air quality.
- You’re working to a construction timeline and need testing scheduled around flush-out or occupancy.

What We Test For
LEED IAQ testing typically measures contaminants including:
Particulates (PM10 / PM2.5)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Formaldehyde
Carbon monoxide and other targeted compounds per the credit requirements
We follow the protocols required for the credit and provide documentation formatted for your LEED submission.
Our Process
- Project scoping: We review your LEED goals, the targeted credit, and your construction schedule.
- Coordination: We align testing timing with flush-out and occupancy plans.
- On-site sampling: We collect air samples following the required protocols.
- Accredited lab analysis: Samples are analyzed against the credit thresholds.
- Documentation: You receive results and documentation ready for your LEED submission.
