Building Air Quality

Building air quality is a portfolio question, not a single-room question. We help operators baseline a whole estate, find the worst performers fast, and prioritise capital where it changes occupant experience most.

  • Portfolio-level IAQ baselining
  • Worst-zone triage
  • Outdoor air infiltration modelling
  • Energy vs. ventilation trade-off analysis
  • WELL & BREEAM evidence packs
  • Tender-ready remediation specs

What 'building air quality' covers

Beyond classic pollutants (CO₂, PM2.5, TVOC, formaldehyde), a whole-building view includes outdoor air ingress, supply-air filtration grade, recirculation ratios, and pressure relationships between zones. Each of these can be the dominant lever depending on building age and use.

Who this is for

Asset and operations leaders responsible for facility managers, property managers, HR and wellbeing leads, health & safety teams, workplace consultants and building owners, particularly across multi-let or multi-site portfolios where IAQ performance varies invisibly between assets.

Portfolio assessment process

Tiered approach: lightweight screening across all assets, deep dive on outliers, intervention plan ranked by occupant impact and capital cost. We deliver a ranked schedule of works your asset manager can act on.

Where this pays back

Lease renewals, ESG reporting, occupier wellbeing reporting and reduced complaint volumes. Several recent UK occupiers ask for documented IAQ performance during fit-out negotiations.
