More on Health, Productivity & Safety

Most projects are rushed to occupancy. This occurs for a multitude of reasons, but the end result always effects the building occupants.
Occupants are most productive when the building runs as it is requested by the owner and designed by the engineers.
Important for all types of facilities (office, educational, medical, etc.)
Proper:
- Temperature – Too hot or too cold and occupant productivity diminishes.
- Air flow – Drafty and stuffy areas make occupants uncomfortable.
- Clean air – When filters are dirty or improperly installed occupant sickness increases and the amount of debris blowing in increases.
- Missing equipment – Design and occupant demand cannot be met if equipment is not installed. This leaves the occupant without proper working conditions.
- Lighting – Too dim or too bright makes occupants uncomfortable. Lighting that does not turn on or frequently turns off automatically creates nuisances that greatly effect occupants.
- Domestic hot water – Too hot and scalding is a danger, too cold and it discourages use, either way occupants are negatively effected.

I am able to identify systems with deficiencies and help the team resolve the issues. I am not only helping the building become successful, I am also helping the occupant health, productivity and safety.
