Indoor air temperature plays a critical role in maintaining comfort and preventing health hazards in homes and workplaces. LCS Laboratory Inc. provides indoor air temperature testing as a fundamental part of our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) survey. Air temperature not only influences occupant comfort but also impacts indoor air quality by interacting with humidity and promoting or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. This service is designed to help you assess whether your indoor environment aligns with recommended standards for health and comfort.
Technical Details
Temperature is a key environmental factor affecting indoor spaces. It impacts two primary areas:
- Occupant Comfort and Health: Indoor temperature significantly affects how comfortable and healthy a space feels.
- Biological Growth: Temperatures outside recommended ranges can accelerate the growth of mould and bacteria, contributing to potential health risks.
Based on ASHRAE 55-2004 guidelines, ideal indoor temperatures are:
- Summer: 23–26°C
- Winter: 20–26°C
As part of our IAQ survey, we measure air temperature alongside humidity to identify conditions that may compromise indoor air quality. Your final report will include detailed analysis and practical recommendations to help maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
