Project Details
EnviroSustain assessed the indoor environmental quality of an industrial site near Augsburg where transformers, motors, generators, and special machines are repaired, tested, and maintained. The survey included sampling and analysis of air and dust samples as well as the assessment of thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort.
The analysis of air and dust samples focused on volatile organic compounds. The results have shown that all threshold values of relevant contaminants are met and thus no hazards for building users exist.
Adequate workplace conditions both in the halls and offices were found by measuring temperature, relative humidity, air movement, illumination levels, and reverberation times.
The results of our analyses contribute to the client’s overall assessment of the sustainability performance of the asset.
