Indoor air quality pre-diagnosis

Directing the client to an indoor air quality management plan.

Why monitoring indoor air quality?

20% of worldwide population is allergic (source World Health Organization) and indoor air pollution is responsible for more than 20% of allergic illnesses. Many allergists and pneumologists have understood the recovery or the health improvement of some patients depends on the air quality of their life environment - habitat, office, workshop, transport…-.
Indoor air quality has not only sanitary effects but also heavy impact on the employees' productivity. Indeed, in addition to illness leaves, difficulty to concentrate oneself and to do usual tasks is among the consequences of a poor indoor air quality.

How describing the indoor environment?

"Make visible the invisible"

The substances contained in the air are multiples but four quantities are key to evaluating the indoor air quality quickly. The comfort parameters, hygrometry, temperature and CO2, as well as the total concentration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) -majority group among the chemical contaminants- allow deciding about the proper operation of the ventilation system and specifying if air is polluted or sane.

Describing the areas and the occupiers' way of life

The building surroundings, the construction and decoration products, the furniture as well as the condition of equipments and coverings are potential sources of pollution (chemical, physical, microbiological). As far as human activity is concerned, it is, with pets, plants, moulds and air conditioning openings, one of the main sources of microbiological pollution.

Constat and measurements on site, a step toward the improvement of indoor air quality

The pre-diagnosis offered by Domosystem includes the acknowledgement of the environment and measurements in the real occupancy condition. Materialised by a report, this pre-study allows determining if the air of premises is polluted or sane, properly ventilated or not. Before resorting to an engineering department or a laboratory, this pre-diagnosis allows orientating the client toward the next step avoiding useless costs.
