Whether we are a regular employee and work in an office or work as a freelancer and operate from home, the modern lifestyle dictates that we now spend increasingly longer periods cooped up inside a building. The side effect is that we hardly have the opportunity to expose ourselves to the fresh air and sunshine which is needed for a healthy body.
This has given rise to a new medical condition called the €Sick building syndrome€. It is a term coined to describe a modern ailment plaguing employees wherein they experience discomfort and medical symptoms that are brought about by extended periods of stay in a building as a result of being exposed to numerous building pollutants and a lack of fresh air.
Several reasons have been found to contribute to this syndrome. These include chemical contaminants from indoor and outdoor sources, biological contaminants and inadequate ventilations, etc.
In order to improve indoor air quality, several options are available. Among the actions which an architect or building owner could take would be to relocate fresh air intakes to avoid pulling in outside contaminants from incinerators, garbage bins or loading docks, follow the recommended maintenance schedules of manufacturers of HVAC systems, use low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints, purchase office furnishings with low or no formaldehyde or other VOC emissions and use natural or organic janitorial cleaning and pest control products etc.
In Australia, as in all other developed countries, this is an area of growing concern as a sick building would produce sick employees, thereby affecting productivity levels. Hence, a measure which should be adopted by building owners is to ensure that they conduct regular Building Inspections in Adelaide and all other states in the country in order to nip this potentially debilitating problem in the bud.
Obviously there are many companies which could provide such services but one company which has proven it's worth in providing Professional Building Inspection Adelaide services is Pest 24 Seven.
One of the key strengths of this company is that they have adopted a personal approach to the business by treating every residential and commercial building they inspect as their own. You can therefore expect the utmost care and attention to detail. In fact, the company is so confident of the accuracy of their report that they offer a 100% Guarantee of Satisfaction. In other words, they will make it right or give you a full refund.
