IGBC | LEED | WELL Certifications
Indoor air quality, water quality and acoustic testing mapped directly to IGBC, LEED and WELL credit requirements, delivered in the format your certification consultant needs.
What is IGBC, LEED and WELL certification testing?
IGBC, LEED and WELL certifications award credits for specific, measurable performance thresholds: indoor air quality below certain pollutant levels, water fixtures meeting flow-rate targets, acoustic comfort within defined limits. A green building consultant can design for these targets, but the certifying body needs third-party test data as proof, not design intent.
Equinox Labs provides the indoor air quality, water quality and acoustic testing data required to support IGBC, LEED and WELL credit submissions, formatted to match what your certification consultant needs to file, so testing doesn't become the bottleneck in your certification timeline. This draws on our indoor air quality testing and water testing services, backed by NABL accreditation across all 5 of our laboratories.
Why does certification-grade testing matter?
Design intent alone doesn't earn a credit. Verified data does.
- Credits need proof, not intent. Certifying bodies require independent test data before awarding a performance-based credit.
- A missing report stalls the whole submission. Certification timelines commonly slip because testing was scheduled too late.
- Recertification resets the clock. WELL and similar standards require the building to keep proving it meets thresholds, not just at launch.
- Occupant wellbeing is the real target. The thresholds behind these credits exist because air, water and noise quality measurably affect health and productivity.

Green building certification testing FAQs
IGBC, LEED and WELL certification testing involves measuring selected building performance parameters, such as indoor air quality, water quality and acoustic conditions, to support green building certification requirements. The applicable tests depend on the certification, credit category, building type and assessment criteria. Test results can provide supporting evidence for a certification submission.
Equinox Labs supports testing requirements associated with IGBC, LEED and WELL green building certifications. Depending on the project and applicable credit requirements, testing may cover indoor air quality, water quality and acoustic parameters. The testing scope should be confirmed against the specific certification version and credits being pursued.
No, you can discuss your testing requirements with Equinox Labs before engaging a certification consultant. However, a certification consultant can help identify the applicable credits, testing parameters and documentation requirements. Confirming these details before scheduling site testing helps ensure the test scope aligns with your certification objectives.
WELL certification testing may include indoor air quality, water quality and acoustic assessments, depending on the applicable WELL version, feature requirements and project scope. Parameters may include particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, selected water quality parameters, sound levels and reverberation time. The required tests and acceptance criteria should be confirmed against the relevant WELL requirements.
Testing may be required during initial certification and at later stages, depending on the certification programme, applicable credits and recertification requirements. Some projects may need repeat measurements to demonstrate continued performance. Confirm the required testing frequency and parameters against the applicable certification rules.
Yes, testing can be discussed for multiple buildings or campus locations as part of a coordinated project. The scope depends on the number of sites, building characteristics, required parameters and certification objectives. Equinox Labs offers pan-India reach, with sample collection across 500+ cities. Confirm site availability, scheduling and reporting arrangements before planning the testing programme.
Our testing is backed by NABL accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025. The relevant accreditation scope should be checked to confirm that the specific tests required for your project are covered. Certification documentation requirements may also vary, so confirm that the proposed testing methods and reports meet the requirements of the relevant certification programme.
Our turnaround for green building certification testing is typically 5–7 working days. The actual timeline may depend on the testing parameters, site visit schedule, sample requirements and laboratory analysis involved. Confirm the expected turnaround and report format with Equinox Labs before scheduling testing against a certification deadline.
