Environmental And Electromechanical Testing
In today's built environment, ensuring a building functions efficiently and sustainably goes beyond its architectural design. Environmental and electromechanical (E&M) testing plays a crucial role in verifying a building's performance. This testing encompasses evaluating the building envelope for air, water, and thermal leaks, as well as assessing the functionality and efficiency of its electrical and mechanical systems.
Building Air Quality Testing Services Including Clean Rooms
JEDI International understands that a building's atmosphere is just as important as its structure. We offer comprehensive Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing services to ensure the health and wellbeing of occupants.
Our team utilizes advanced technologies to identify and analyze various pollutants that can negatively impact comfort, productivity, and even lead to health concerns. These pollutants can come from a variety of sources, such as building materials, cleaning products, and even outdoor air infiltration.
JEDI International goes beyond just identifying the problem. We offer forensic detection to pinpoint the source of the pollutants, allowing for targeted solutions. We also provide risk management solutions to help building owners create a healthier environment for occupants.
By prioritizing IAQ, JEDI International helps create buildings that are not only functional but also contribute to the wellbeing of the people who use them.
1. Commercial & Industrial IAQ Testing:
JEDI International offers a comprehensive suite of IAQ testing services to cater to the specific needs of various building types:
- We understand that every building, whether a commercial office or an industrial facility, has unique requirements based on its age, size, layout, and intended use.
- Our experienced professionals leverage their in-depth knowledge of the built environment to address your specific concerns and complaints.
- We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to conduct thorough testing and provide reliable, defensible data to support informed decision-making.
Our IAQ Services Include
A. Ventilation Assessments & Engineering Solutions:
We conduct a detailed audit of your building's HVAC system, analyzing air change rates, filtration efficiency, and overall performance in reducing indoor air pollutants.
- We employ advanced techniques like tracer gas testing to identify areas needing improved ventilation or filtration.
B. Odor Investigations:
We assess potential sources of indoor and outdoor odors, measure common air pollutants, and determine their magnitude in relation to established odor thresholds.
C. Occupant Comfort Assessments:
We evaluate factors like temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and air velocity to ensure a comfortable and healthy environment for building occupants.
D. LEED Consulting
We collaborate with trusted partners to support your aspirations for LEED certification by optimizing building ventilation and IAQ.
E. Emergency Response:
We offer prompt response to potential releases of hazardous air pollutants, assisting with source identification, remediation, and risk mitigation.
F. Commercial Industrial Air Quality Assessments:
- We evaluate potential sources of indoor air pollutants and conduct testing to compare exposure levels with regulatory standards and best practices.
2. Multi-Family Residential IAQ Testing:
JEDI INTERNATIONAL recognizes that maintaining good IAQ is crucial in multi-family residential buildings as well. We offer testing services to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution and assess ventilation systems. By addressing these factors, we can help improve comfort and well-being for residents.
Electromechanical Testing:
Electromechanical (EM) testing is a crucial step in the construction process, ensuring all electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems function properly and meet project specifications before a building is occupied.
Types of Electromechanical Testing:
- Electrical Testing:
Power Distribution System Verification: Measure voltage and current levels, confirm grounding system integrity, and test circuit breaker functionality.
Lighting Control System Testing: Verify proper operation of switches, dimmers, occupancy sensors, and emergency lighting systems.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Testing: Ensure GFCIs trip properly under simulated fault conditions.
- Mechanical Testing:
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System Testing: Measure airflow rates, verify temperature control accuracy, assess equipment performance (e.g., boilers, chillers, air handlers), and confirm proper ductwork sealing.
Building Automation System (BAS) Testing: Verify communication between BAS and field devices like thermostats and VAV boxes, and ensure proper control sequences are implemented.
Balancing: Adjust airflow and water flow rates in HVAC systems to achieve optimal performance and comfort levels.
- Plumbing Testing:
Water Supply System Testing: Measure water pressure and flow rates, verify proper fixture operation (sinks, toilets, showers), and test backflow prevention devices.
Sanitary Drainage System Testing: Perform camera inspections and water flow tests to identify leaks or blockages in drain lines.
Domestic Hot Water System Testing: Measure water temperature at various points and verify proper operation of hot water heaters.
- Fire Protection System Testing:
Fire Alarm System Testing: Simulate fire scenarios to verify alarm activation, notification procedures, and proper operation of fire alarm panels and devices.
Sprinkler System Testing: Perform hydrostatic testing to ensure sprinkler piping integrity, conduct water flow tests to verify sprinkler activation and coverage, and inspect sprinkler heads for proper positioning and functionality.
Smoke Control System Testing: Test functionality of smoke dampers and ensure proper operation of smoke evacuation systems.
