Indoor air quality has moved from a niche concern to a standard fit-out consideration. Tenants ask about ventilation rates, filtration, and CO₂ monitoring before signing leases - particularly in healthcare, education, and high-density office environments.
Sealed modern buildings need deliberate mechanical ventilation. Opening windows is not a strategy in high-rise commercial spaces. Heat recovery ventilation introduces fresh filtered air while capturing energy from exhaust streams.
CO₂ monitoring provides a proxy for ventilation adequacy in meeting rooms and open-plan floors. Integrating sensors with BMS allows facilities teams to adjust outdoor air rates based on occupancy rather than fixed schedules.
Healthcare and medical fit-outs require documented filtration performance, pressure relationships between rooms, and maintenance schedules that satisfy infection-control guidelines. Generic office HVAC rarely meets these thresholds without redesign.
We audit existing systems and specify upgrades - from simple exhaust improvements through to full mechanical ventilation with heat recovery - aligned to how each building is actually used.
