What is good Indoor Air Quality : "Air in which there are no known contaminants at harmful concentrations as determined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not express dissatisfaction"
It is a known fact that Indoors is 2-5 times more polluted than the Outdoors and also we spend upto 90% of our time indoors. Hence it is imperative to ensure that the air we breathe is not loaded with pollutants such as CO2, Particulate matter, T-VOCs, Ozone, Microbes, Bacteria, Nox, Sox & other gases. Any of these pollutants being the recommended limits can cause major health damages and also reduce our productivity levels and make us uncomfortable.
"If you can't measure it – you can't manage it ". Each space comes with it's own challenges related to the ambient air conditions, Human activity, Building type, HVAC system, Equipment inside. Hence one needs to measure the Air Quality parameters to not only monitor but also control & limit. This also helps design the correct Ventilation – Pressurization – Filtration system to maintain a good IAQ.
MHair has the capability to carry out detailed IAQ audits, analyse the results and suggest methods of correction including HVAC design & modifications. This also helps in maintaining the system thus leading to greater productivity and better health of the occupants making them feel comfortable. A bad air quality also damages the Interiors thus increasing the repair & maintenance costs and make the building look dirty.
The IAQ parameters that can be measured & monitored are
CO2
CO
T-VOC
Formaldehyde
PM10/2.5/1.0
Microbial
Various gases like Ozone etc.
