Identify deficiencies that may impact IEQ and/or sources of odor concerns. Typically includes the following depending on the nature of concern, but not limited to:
- interview/questionnaire of concern individual(s)
- inspection above drop ceiling (condition of roof deck, pipe insulation, return air plenum)
- inspection of ventilation system (operation of variable air volume box and outdoor air dampers, check controls, measurements of carbon dioxide, temperature and relative humidity, sources near outdoor air intake, measure return and supply air volume, cleanliness of coils, liner and condensate pan)
- inspection of exterior
- inspection below drop ceiling (housekeeping, sink and floor drain traps, signs of past and present moisture concern via visual and/or moisture meter, mold growth, ensure connection of current and capping of abandoned sanitary vents, odorizers, excessive plants and fabric items, identify potential pathways, and measure volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and lighting)
Date(s) of Assessment: June 10, 2024
An initial assessment was performed during the morning, prior to Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment operating.
No odors were identifed by the assessor during the visit.
Each cubby for the student desks were individually assessed. No significant odors were identifed in association with the desks.
The space was screened with a thermal infrared camera. A thermal anomaly was identifed indicative of a spill. Moisture readings confirmed a spill in the central portion of the classroom (carpet).
The spill appears to be approximately one square foot in area.
A very faint odor was associated with the spill when up close.
Custodial Services will clean/extract and then dry the impacted area.
