Air Quality Sciences (AQS) works with construction companies, architects, building owners, and investors to obtain GREENGUARD Building Construction^SM Certification for new construction or major renovations. This certification meets the requirements of GEI/ANSI National Standards MMS1001 and is a necessary step in protecting a building from losses associated with moisture intrusion and mold contamination.

Key benefits of this program include:

• Reduction in the risk of occupant complaints, lost rent, personal injury litigation and negative publicity due to poor IAQ and or building related symptoms
• Financial savings and fewer schedule delays due to early identification and resolution of problems 
• Increased lifespan of mechanical and building envelope components
• Increase in property value as a result of promoting safe, comfortable indoor environments
• Ability to position construction companies and architectural firms as healthier, “greener” businesses
• Qualification for LEED 2009 for Schools EQ Credit 10: Mold Prevention
• Qualification for LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors – Innovation in Design Credit: Mold Prevention
• Reduction in potential lender objections when obtaining a loan
