Portico Home Inspection LLC
By Anne S at Customer Lob June 12, 2014
We hired Ken for two recent home inspections and were very satisfied with his service. The first house had a lot of problems, and his detailed report and fair, honest assessment helped us decide against purchasing the home. The reports are emailed to you and your realtor the same night as the inspection, which is essential during the time-sensitive inspection period. We were able to make a fast decision. One week later, we put in an offer on a second house and had Ken come out again. We are moving ahead with the purchase based on his report, which is detailed and easy to read, with countless color photographs. Thanks again, Ken! ...read more

Building Flush-Out For LEED Projects- Goverment-Commercial-Industrial
Building Flush-Out For LEED Projects I LEED for New Construction: LEED-NC IEQ Credit 3.2: Construction IAQ Management Plan:www.iersos.com Industrial Hygiene Services Before OccupancyThe intent of this LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Credit starts with the design of, then implement of, an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan Pre-Occupancy phase of a newly-constructed building with the goals of reducing indoor air quality problems and minimizing any health issues of the building occupants that may otherwise occur from the construction/reconstruction process. This credit requires the development and implementation of an IAQ plan for the pre-occupancy phase of the building. Specifically, it requires a flush out of the indoor air prior to or during early building occupancy until 14,000 cu. ft. of outdoor air per sq. ft. of floor area has been delivered to the space. Alternatively, the requirements for this LEED credit can be met if IAQ testing can prove that maximum concentrations of EPA listed air pollutants are not exceeded. Please visitwww.iersos.comfor this IAQ Air Testing. Industrial Hygiene Services (I.H.S.) is Portland, Oregon's leading provider of temporary and portable air, heating, cooling, dehumidifying, and air filtration services.

I.H.S.specialty equipment guarantees lower relative humidity levels and dew point temperatures inside the building while the outside air is supplied to prevent condensation and minimize the potential for mold.
