What does indoor climate consulting entail?

When we provide consulting services on indoor air quality, we naturally base our recommendations on the specific conditions that are key to the indoor environment in your property. This may involve seeking advice regarding the design of new rental units or needing to optimize the indoor climate for an existing property. Regardless, there will be specific factors that influence the indoor climate. These include the building envelope, interior design, and the placement of systems.

These elements directly influence how temperature, air quality, daylight, and acoustics are experienced in daily life, which is yet another important aspect when discussing indoor climate: how it is actually perceived.

With the right indoor climate consulting, you’ll gain an overview of both challenges and opportunities for improvement, as well as a plan for how to create a healthy and comfortable indoor climate that matches the property’s use and technical specifications.

How do we assess the indoor air quality of the property?

Through indoor air quality testing, we can identify issues such as poor air quality, excessive humidity, mold, or inadequate ventilation. In collaboration with our partners, we ensure that you receive advice on your property’s indoor air quality based on concrete data, which serves as the foundation for targeted improvements.

An indoor climate assessment and subsequent consultation are effective tools for ensuring a healthy indoor climate and a more energy-efficient property. Our indoor climate consultants use a range of simulation tools to perform calculations and predict indoor climate scenarios. Based on the indoor climate tests, we can provide the best possible advice, taking the property’s specific conditions into account. In this way, our indoor climate tests lead to high-quality advice, ensuring you make the best possible investment in your property’s indoor climate.  

Indoor climate consulting: Our services and methods

It is essential to have optimal conditions to ensure a comfortable and, above all, healthy indoor climate. This is where our indoor climate consultants come in, ensuring that you receive professional advice on indoor climate and all the factors, criteria, and regulations that are important to consider and document.

Our indoor climate consulting is, of course, based on extensive experience and expertise in the field, but different properties have different conditions. That is why we conduct indoor climate tests and use the data as the basis for each assessment, so we can improve existing conditions. 

Comprehensive building assessment and diagnostics

When we provide consulting services on indoor air quality, the process begins with a thorough technical inspection of the building. The purpose is to assess the building’s physical conditions that affect indoor air quality, including insulation levels, airtightness, ventilation type, choice of materials, and the condition and location of the systems.

We combine this review with specific measurements of parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, CO₂ levels, air exchange rates, and the presence of particles or VOCs. This way, we gain not only a visual and technical overview but also a data-driven understanding of where the challenges lie.

To improve the indoor climate in an existing building and ensure a lasting effect, it is crucial to identify which factors require adjustment, such as insufficient ventilation, thermal bridges, moisture problems, or uneven heating control. The diagnosis forms the basis for targeted recommendations that take into account the building’s function, usage patterns, and technical capacity.

Use of advanced measurement methods and analyses

To assess and improve the indoor climate in both new and existing buildings, our indoor climate experts use advanced simulation tools. These tools make it possible to analyze, predict, and visualize how various factors, such as ventilation, materials, daylight, and heat load, affect the indoor climate. At the same time, they allow us to model how changes to these conditions will play out in practice.

An indoor climate simulator serves as a decision-making tool that enables the design or adaptation of buildings to provide greater comfort, lower energy consumption, and fewer indoor climate-related issues before challenges even arise.

The simulations complement physical measurements and create a solid data foundation for making informed decisions. This is particularly valuable in projects where indoor climate and energy consumption must be documented. This may, for example, be in connection with ESG reporting or DGNB certification, where both social factors such as comfort and environmental factors such as energy efficiency are key assessment criteria.

At DEAS, we also provide consulting services on ESG reporting and DGNB certification. Read more here.

Strategic solutions and initiatives

Indoor climate consulting isn’t just about solving specific problems in the here and now. It is also about thinking strategically and for the long term. At DEAS, we work with holistic solutions that both improve comfort for those who spend their days in the building and enhance the property’s value and operational efficiency. This can range from optimizing ventilation, humidity control, and temperature regulation to selecting materials, daylighting strategies, and energy management.

The goal is to create healthy, effective, and verifiable indoor climate solutions that are tailored to the property’s use, technical capabilities, and financial constraints.

Technical support and follow-up guidance

When you choose DEAS to consult on sustainability and indoor climate, you gain access to reliable expertise, not only before and during the process of improving indoor air quality, but also afterward. We consider it essential to recommend solutions that work in practice. That is why we follow up and evaluate the effectiveness of the measures, ensuring you achieve lasting and verifiable results. 

We are also available throughout the entire process should you need technical support regarding changes and initiatives. With many years of experience and extensive knowledge of indoor climate, we consider it our most important mission to ensure responsible efforts to improve indoor climate conditions so that they are as optimal as possible and, above all, sustainable.

Evaluation of existing ventilation systems

A key factor in a healthy indoor environment is a properly functioning ventilation system. When we provide consulting services for a project involving an older property or a building that needs to be renovated or have its indoor environment optimized, we assess the existing ventilation systems. By assessing the efficiency of the ventilation based on the building’s use and air quality, the identified weaknesses can be turned into potential opportunities for optimization, modifications, or replacement.

A healthy indoor climate requires air movement and exchange. Inadequate ventilation can lead to the accumulation of CO2, moisture, and particles, which can negatively impact both comfort and health. Therefore, properly sized and reliable ventilation is a central part of any indoor climate assessment—and often an obvious place to start when the indoor climate needs to be significantly improved.
