About Fitwel Testing
We help non-residential buildings meet the indoor air quality requirements of the globally recognised Fitwel Certification System.
We start with a consultation to understand your building’s current indoor environment and your Fitwel strategy. Our engineers then carry out comprehensive testing, measuring pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and other key indicators of occupant health.
Testing is performed under normal operating conditions to reflect real-world exposure. We assess your space against Fitwel’s indoor air quality benchmarks, identifying any issues that may hinder certification.
Following testing, we deliver a detailed report with clear results and recommendations. If any pollutants exceed Fitwel limits, we advise on targeted improvements — such as filtration upgrades or operational changes — and provide retesting to confirm compliance.

Fitwel Testing FAQs
What is the Fitwel certification? ↓
Fitwel is a building certification system focused on promoting health and well-being in buildings. It evaluates how building design and operations impact occupant health, including factors like air quality, access to daylight, walkability, and healthy food options. Buildings that meet Fitwel’s criteria can earn certification as healthier, more productive spaces.
How long does certification take? ↓
The Fitwel certification process can take up to 12 weeks.
When should Fitwel testing be carried out? ↓
Testing should take place once the building is in regular use – under normal occupancy and operational conditions, as required by Fitwel.
What if results don’t meet the standards? ↓
We’ll recommend tailored solutions to improve air quality and offer retesting once those changes have been made.
