Indoor Air Quality Remediation
The Council-certified Indoor Environmental Remediator (CIER) and the Council-certified Indoor Environmental Supervisor (CIES) correct problems related to poor indoor air quality. For example, a CIER or CIES can perform mold remediation, asbestos removal or lead paint abatement. A CIER or CIES can deal with hazardous materials and chemicals. Finally, a CIER or CIES can handle Chinese drywall, meth lab cleanup and a host of other indoor air quality issues.
A CIER or CIES has verified knowledge in a range of disciplines related to indoor air quality remediation, including asbestos, lead, hazardous materials, chemicals, mold, Chinese drywall and meth lab cleanup.
Each CIER or CIES possesses verified experience conducting remediation projects in one or more of the following settings:
-
Offices and commercial buildings
-
Industrial structures
-
Government facilities
-
Schools and public buildings
-
Healthcare facilities
-
Residential structures
To earn the Council-certified Indoor Environmental Remediator (CIER) or Council-certified Indoor Environmental Supervisor (CIES) designations, candidates must:
-
Demonstrate verifiable verifiable field experience in indoor air quality remediation
-
Pass a rigorous examination based on broad industry knowledge rather than a course curriculum
-
Earn the unanimous approval of the CIER or CIES certification board
-
Re-certify every two years

The CIER and CIES certifications are accredited by the Council for Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB), a nationally recognized independent accreditation body. ACAC certifications are the ONLY designations in the indoor air quality field to earn CESB accreditation.
