CIAQM -- Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager This important specialty certification tests for an individual's basic knowledge of how to properly sample, analyze, and remediate indoor air quality problems, including molds, fungus, asbestos, radon, sick building syndrome and ventilation system related design matters.
Education and Work Experience: A combination of 5 years of education and indoor air quality work experience. This combination may be a Bachelor's degree and one year of work experience, three complete years of college study and two years of work experience, an Associates degree and three years of work experience, one year of college and four years of work experience, or no college education and five years of work experience. All work experience must directly relate to indoor air quality measurement, analysis and/or corrective action. All college/university education must relate to an environmental discipline such as chemistry, physics, math, zoology, biology, meteorology, or other subject approved by NREP.
Exam Requirements: To ensure that individuals are knowledgeable and qualified in matters dealing with indoor air quality, a two-hour, open book examination is administered to candidates. The exam tests an individual's basic knowledge of ventilation, toxicology, molds, fungus, ASHRAE standards, allergens, asbestos, OSHA limits, USEPA recommendations and environmental health. Since the exam is conducted allowing candidates to use references during testing, this permits NREP to conduct more in-depth questioning than might be expected of a closed book exam.
