High-quality indoor air is a shared benefit – Here’s how we ensure it
High-quality indoor air benefits property owners, builders, and users alike. Clean air, proper building physics, and sufficient ventilation can be ensured during new construction or renovation projects.
We support municipalities, cities, property owners, and construction companies across Finland in managing indoor air quality. For over a decade, we have served as moisture and cleanliness management coordinators in hundreds of projects from Helsinki to Rovaniemi.
Our moisture and cleanliness management coordinators can also take on other roles in the project, such as structural designer, construction consultant, or site supervisor. We also provide comprehensive research services.

Indoor air quality ensured from project planning to commissioning
Ensuring indoor air quality requires expert guidance, as goals and optimal solutions vary by project. We steer design from the start toward sustainable, resilient solutions that support indoor air quality throughout the building’s lifecycle.
It’s best to involve Sweco’s experts in quality management already during the project planning phase to ensure cost-effective impact. Proactive indoor air quality management reduces concerns for property owners and saves construction costs, such as unnecessary drying or demolition expenses.
Indoor air quality management for projects large and small
We provide indoor air quality management services for all types and sizes of buildings—from schools and hospitals to offices and industrial facilities. Our services are always tailored to the client’s needs, focusing on the most critical areas and construction phases.
Our quality management specialists ensure that public buildings and workplaces are safe and healthy for users, with no hidden moisture or cleanliness risks left behind. Explore also our services for housing companies.
Cleanliness management coordination
Our cleanliness management coordinator supports designers and contractors in selecting the right solutions and scheduling work phases throughout the construction process. Cleanliness management is especially critical during HVAC system installations, but indoor air impurities can also be prevented through proper design solutions. Read more!
Moisture management coordination
Our moisture management coordinator guides all parties in the construction project in choosing and implementing moisture-safe solutions. During construction, we ensure that structures are built with moisture safety in mind, so the end result is healthy and safe for all users. Read more!
Building physics expert services
Climate change increases moisture stress on structures, which means building physics expertise is more important than ever. We ensure thermally and moisture-safe, resilient, and easily repairable structures and joints. We use modern calculation methods and software, such as flow simulations (CFD) and condition simulations. Read more!
Building health services
The goal of building health services is to ensure healthy spaces at home and work. We consider all factors and risks affecting indoor air quality already during the design phase. Building health can be promoted, for example, through Healthy Building criteria or the SILVK model (Indoor Air Quality Assurance Consultant).
Construction quality assurance services
We support construction quality assurance with a wide range of additional services, such as airtightness and moisture measurements and thermal imaging with infrared cameras.
- Airtightness measurements detect air leaks in the building envelope. We perform tests according to the SFS-EN ISO 9972:2015 standard, including leak detection using smoke or thermal imaging. Measurements by certified testers include recommendations for corrective actions.
- Moisture measurements determine the moisture content of building materials, verifying that drying structures are safe to finish. If needed, we measure moisture using sample or borehole methods and the drying-weighing method.
- Thermal imaging assesses the thermal and moisture performance of structures or building systems. It can be done without damaging structures, both in completed buildings and during construction, for example, as input for renovation design. Thermal imaging reveals air leak paths, missing insulation, and thermal bridges.
