INDOOR AIR QUALITY | ABATEMENT, REMEDIATION & HVAC

Indoor air quality (IAQ) impacts how people work, recover and operated inside buildings, especially after water intrusion, fire events, system failures or contamination concerns. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that people spend about 90% of their time indoors, and that indoor air quality is influenced by factors such as ventilation, filtration, and indoor pollutant sources.

Sustain's Project Management team provide a single point of contact to manage scheduled and emergency IAQ services anywhere in the United States and Canada. Our solutions are comprehensive and guide the process from start to finish. These services are turnkey: from initial call to site reconstruction and upgrade completion, so customers don't have to coordinate multiple contractors, scopes, and timelines across sites.

One Source to Manage IAQ Across Your Sites

IAQ projects are rarely "just one task." They often involve assessment, containment, remediation, restoration, and follow-on upgrades to prevent recurrence. Sustain supports public and private entities by coordinating services, managing scheduling, and driving the project toward completion with consistent communication and documentation.

This approach is especially valuable for multi-site operators where consistency, speed, and standardized closeout are critical, whether the need is planned maintenance or a time-sensitive response.

Our project expertise supports public and private entities with building applications for:

Air Quality Services:

HEPA filtration
UV lighting
Infectious disease control

Abatement & Remediation:

Asbestos abatement
Mold remediation
Lead remediation
Lead-based paint remediation

Fire, Smoke, Water & Flood Response & Restoration:

Proof of Program Scale

Sustain's indoor air quality capabilities are built to scale across large, multi-facility portfolios, not just individual locations. Our project management model is designed to bring consistency, speed, and accountability to IAQ programs that span regions, brands, and building types.

In one multi‑year portfolio engagement, Sustain supported indoor air quality services across dozens of facilities spanning more than twenty‑three operating brands. The program scope included asbestos, mold, and lead abatement, as well as coordinated reconstruction to return impacted areas to “like existing condition.” Project managers worked directly with facilities teams to identify priority locations, align budgets, and phase work to minimize disruption in occupied buildings.

The same program also included ventilation assessments and HVAC upgrade coordination, where Sustain evaluated system functionality, developed recommendations to meet workplace ventilation requirements, and managed the implementation of approved upgrades through qualified partners. Follow‑up measurements were used to confirm successful installation and performance.

During periods of heightened operational risk, the program expanded to include infection prevention and decontamination protocols, developed in collaboration with industrial hygienists and executed in sensitive environments. Across all phases, Sustain provided centralized communication, standardized documentation, and consistent closeout to support compliance, audit readiness, and enterprise‑level visibility.
