Yes, and it’s a good strategy if in-house staff don’t have time to do the audit. Most professional firms are familiar with the technical aspects of the I-BEAM forms, though they are not necessarily accustomed to performing the non-technical aspects of the audit. Make sure the outside auditor has a copy of the I-BEAM forms so they can adjust their existing IAQ audit materials accordingly. Be sure to work with these firms to develop the required IAQ management program, in addition to the audit report.
