Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

What will the BASE data tell me about my particular building?

The BASE study was not designed to give specific information on any individual building or to produce the type of diagnostic data needed to evaluate the nature, validity, or cause of IAQ complaints.

See also associated question, What is the Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation Study (BASE) at: www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/what-building-assessment-survey-and-evaluation-study-base.
