Indoor Air Quality Construction Plan Audit

Inspection template for auditing construction indoor air quality controls, including source control, HVAC protection, housekeeping, and flush-out readiness.

Project Documentation and IAQ Plan

• Current IAQ management plan is available on site and matches the active scope of work
• Roles and responsibilities are assigned to a competent person for IAQ controls
• Material submittals and product data show low-emitting or approved materials where required
• Any required monitoring logs, inspection records, or corrective actions are current and complete

Source Control and Material Protection

• Dust-generating work is isolated or contained to prevent migration to occupied or finished areas
• Wet materials, adhesives, sealants, paints, and solvents are stored and used per manufacturer instructions
• Combustion equipment, fuel-powered tools, and idling vehicles are controlled to prevent exhaust infiltration
• Absorbent materials, insulation, ceiling tiles, and other porous materials are protected from moisture and contamination
• Odor-generating activities are scheduled or ventilated to minimize exposure to adjacent areas
• No visible mold growth, standing water, or water-damaged materials are present in controlled areas

HVAC Protection and Ventilation

• Return air openings, supply diffusers, and duct ends are sealed or protected during dusty work
• Installed filters are protected from contamination and replaced after dusty work as needed
• Temporary ventilation or negative air measures are operating where required by the IAQ plan
• HVAC equipment, coils, fans, and controls are free of visible dust accumulation or construction debris
• Outdoor air intakes are unobstructed and protected from contamination sources
• Any HVAC shutdown, isolation, or restart sequence is documented and approved

Housekeeping and Waste Management

• Floors, ledges, and horizontal surfaces are visibly free of excessive dust and debris
• Dust is controlled using HEPA vacuuming or wet cleaning methods where appropriate
• Waste, scrap, and contaminated materials are removed from the work area at a frequency that prevents accumulation
• Trash containers are covered or emptied before overflow occurs
• Housekeeping practices do not create secondary dust migration to finished or occupied areas

Flush-Out Readiness and Closeout

• All construction debris, protective coverings, and temporary materials have been removed from the area
• Permanent HVAC systems are operational and ready for flush-out or final ventilation sequence
• All filters, access panels, and service points are installed and secured
• Flush-out duration, airflow, and outdoor air requirements are documented per project specification
• Final IAQ walk-through items and punch-list deficiencies are documented with owners and due dates
