Fresh air your workplace can prove.
Ventilation compliance, airflow verification and indoor-air-quality monitoring for offices, retail, education, hospitality and light-industrial premises across Scotland.
Open-plan office · GlasgowEvidence for facilities, H&S and building owners.
Workplace ventilation compliance
Regulation 6 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires “effective and suitable” ventilation with sufficient fresh or purified air. We measure whether each space achieves it — HSE guidance points to 5–8 litres per second per occupant.
- Room-by-room fresh-air rate per person
- Occupancy-based assessment
- Findings mapped to your H&S risk assessment
Airflow measurement & verification
Capture-hood and anemometer readings at supply and extract grilles, AHU and fan performance checks, and comparison against design or commissioning data.
- Identifies starved, over-supplied or dead zones
- Post-fit-out and post-refurbishment checks
- Independent of your M&E contractor
CO₂ & indoor air quality monitoring
Multi-point logging of CO₂, humidity, temperature and, where relevant, particulates over a working week, interpreted against BS EN 16798 and CIBSE guidance.
- Reveals real occupancy patterns
- Supports wellbeing and productivity cases
- Clear thresholds and recommendations
Condensation & mould in commercial premises
Investigation of damp, condensation and mould in offices, stores, changing rooms and kitchens — cause, ventilation shortfall and remediation strategy.
Ventilation strategy & specification
Independent advice on natural, mechanical and mixed-mode strategies, referencing Section 3.14 of the Non-domestic Technical Handbook for new and altered buildings.
Portfolio & pre-acquisition surveys
Baseline ventilation and IAQ condition across multiple sites, prioritising investment and giving landlords and occupiers a shared record.
Rooftop plant inspectionThe numbers behind the duty.
The law sets the duty; the standards set the yardsticks. We report both, so a reading on page four means something to the person signing off page one.
| Reference | What it asks for | Typical yardstick |
|---|---|---|
| Workplace Regs 1992, reg. 6 | Effective and suitable ventilation with sufficient fresh or purified air in every enclosed workplace | HSE guidance: 5–8 l/s fresh air per person |
| Technical Handbook (Non-domestic) 3.14 | Ventilation so indoor air quality is not a threat to the building or occupants | Design rates by use and occupancy; commissioning evidence |
| BS EN 16798-1 | Indoor environmental input parameters for design and assessment | CO₂ above outdoor: Cat. II ≈ 800 ppm; Cat. III ≈ 1,350 ppm |
| CIBSE Guide A / TM40 | Environmental design and health & wellbeing in buildings | ~10 l/s per person for good office IAQ |
Capture-hood readingMinimal disruption, maximum clarity.
We survey around your working day, set discreet loggers where people actually sit, and deliver one report with a summary page for leadership and the full dataset for your engineers. Where a fix is needed, the specification is written so any competent M&E contractor can price it.
