Indoor air quality assessment and report software

Indoor air quality assessments start with a complaint or a certification target: occupants report stuffiness, headaches or odours, or the owner wants a NABERS Indoor Environment rating. The hygienist measures carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity, particulates, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds at sampling points across the floor, inspects the air-handling system and relates the readings to what occupants reported. The report has to connect measurement, cause and recommendation for each zone.

Built for occupational hygienists running teams of roughly 3–50 inspectors.

Sample IAQ report

An illustrative excerpt. The site, readings and findings are fictional; the layout is yours to set.

IAQ report

Level 4 open-plan — real-time monitoring results

Site
Fictional Offices, 70 Example Street
Monitoring
9:00–16:00, 6 sampling points
Date
12 August 2026
Level 4 open-plan — real-time monitoring results
Parameter (point 4-C)ResultAssessment
CO₂, peak1,450 ppm at 14:30Assessment: Elevated
Temperature range22.1–24.6 °CAssessment: Pass
Relative humidity48–55%Assessment: Pass
PM2.5, 7-hour average6 µg/m³Assessment: Pass
Outside air damper, AHU-4Found at minimum positionAssessment: Adjust
Carbon dioxide rose through the afternoon at points 4-B and 4-C, consistent with insufficient outside air for the floor’s current occupancy. The AHU-4 outside air damper was at its minimum position; it should be rebalanced and monitoring repeated once it has been adjusted.

Fields captured on site

Your firm builds the form in-app, so these are a starting point rather than a fixed schema. Every field is captured on the device, with or without signal, and lands in the IAQ report where your template puts it.

Per sampling point

  • Point ID and location
  • Occupant density
  • CO₂ (peak and average)
  • Temperature and humidity
  • PM2.5 and PM10
  • TVOC and formaldehyde
  • Instrument and calibration date

Air-handling inspection

  • AHU serving the zone
  • Outside air damper position
  • Filter condition
  • Coil and drain tray condition
  • Photos

Occupant feedback

  • Complaint type
  • Location
  • Times reported

Standards the report works to

AS 1668.2The use of ventilation and air conditioning in buildings — Mechanical ventilation in buildings
Sets the outside air rates the ventilation findings are compared with.
Safe Work AustraliaWorkplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants
The exposure limits contaminants such as formaldehyde are reported against in a workplace.

Load the standards you hold into your reference library and the drafted prose is written against them rather than against a general model.

How the IAQ report gets built

Capture it once, offline

Your firm builds the indoor air quality assessment form in-app — 25 field types, nesting repeatable groups, compound AND/OR visibility rules, reusable modules and calculated fields. Field capture works with no signal: jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio all queue in an idempotent outbox that only clears once the server confirms receipt.

Link it to your buildings, levels and tenancies

Enter buildings, levels and tenancies once, as a register. Every one of your elements, defects and cost lines then points at a stored row rather than a name somebody typed — and the links survive a disconnected device.

Render your own template

The IAQ report renders into the Word template you already use — your letterhead, your section order, your clause library — with conditionals, loops over repeats, composable sub-templates and photo grids.

Reviewed before it leaves

You write the review framework: a checklist of what a IAQ report must contain, plus the prose standards you would mark a junior against. Link it to a report template and it runs every time that template renders. Each finding comes back graded info, minor or major, quoting the sentence at fault, and a person accepts or dismisses every one.

Because the structured submission behind the report is held too, the review is a comparison rather than a proofread: The narrative calls the roof "fair"; the element register grades it C with a twelve-month cost line against it.

Checks a commercial property framework usually carries

  • Every graded defect carries a cost band and a priority
  • The make-good schedule and the narrative describe the same condition
  • Access and DDA non-compliances cite the clause they fail
  • Every photo referenced in the text exists and is captioned

Questions

Can we import readings from our monitoring instrument?
Readings are entered as form fields per sampling point; there is no direct instrument integration, but summary values can be typed in or attached as a file on the job.
Can each sampling point link to the air-handling unit that serves it?
Yes. AHUs and sampling points can both be registers with links between them, so the report can discuss each unit alongside the readings from the zone it serves.
Can occupant complaints be part of the same report?
Yes. Complaints are a repeatable section on the same job, and the AI review can check that each one is addressed in the findings.

What this is not

Worth knowing before you book a demo, so neither of us wastes the half hour.

  • Not field-service dispatch. No timesheets, no parts, no inventory. Scheduling exists to get an inspector to a site.
  • No signature capture. If your deliverable has to carry a signed sign-off on the artefact itself, this is not the tool yet.
  • Field capture is what works offline — jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio. Reports, chat, scheduling and the inbox need a connection.
  • No client portal. Reports go out as a file or a password-protected link.
