office indoor air qualityBelieve or not, buildings can be sick and sick building syndrome is a term widely used in property management circles. Commercial and office space structures are much more complex than residential and require a higher level of engineering when it comes to controlling and management of the inside environment of the building. Insulation and duct materials, HVAC equipment and airflow systems used in commercial development are all of heavy duty nature and must be constantly maintained to deliver consistent performance. Inefficiency or faulty operation of any part of the building could lead to sick building syndrome. Indoor air quality testing in your office would identify any current or potential issues.

Invisible factors reducing productivity

Today’s ultra-competitive business environment means that efficiency and productivity drive the bottom line. Savvy managers and owners will always look for ways to optimize assets and resources to increase profitability. One of the most overlooked factors is the air everyone breathes. Lower quality or bad air in office and commercial spaces will drastically reduce the productivity of the human part of your business as health issues will most likely affect workers negatively. Detailed air quality testing in your office is the first essential step in effectively managing the quality of the air and restoring and increasing productivity from your employees.

Signs of an unhealthy workspace

Commercial and office spaces have more complicated requirements when it comes to managing the inside environment. The constant flow of air and proper insulation is critical to maintain acceptable air quality and the building’s equipment must be in constant working order. Owners and managers who see an increase in taken sick days, reduced workload and output and increased complaints from employees may have a serious air quality issue. Similar complaints from your company’s health and safety committee should be acted upon immediately and air quality testing in your office by a reputable contractor is the first stage in resolving the problem.

Air quality management increases the bottom line

Companies that rely on people to stay in business must treat workforce as a resource and not an expendable asset. Sick building syndrome is caused by poor airflow and faulty environmental systems that cause low quality air in the workspace. Working in a polluted environment will cause health and morale issues among employees leading to reduced productivity and decreased profitability.

Mandan, Toronto

I have heard a lot of stories about home inspection but I could honestly say that I had a great experience. I would like to thank Tony from Inch by Inch Home Inspection for the great experience. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Tony through my realtor. I want to thank Tony for taking the time to answer any questions and any concerns I had about my home inspection.

Teresa, Toronto

Tony Muscat of Inch by Inch Inspections is extremely professional, caring and a prompt individual, when he heard we may have a mold problem he came immediately. Tony was worried with the level of mold that was contained in this recent purchased older home and he walked me through the process of getting rid of the mold and what dangers were involved. He paid the best attention to us, while we went through this horrible ordeal. The fact that impressed me the most was his vast amount of knowledge, and the dangers of each mould which there are many. He is extremely professional and equipped to handle any job. I would recommend Inch by Inch, (Tony) to anyone he is a concerned and serious individual, that cares about your family!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for Joe from Inch by Inch Healthy Homes coming into test the quality of the air in 3 condo's in our building we would have never known it was a gas leak from an outside BBQ which had been an ongoing problem for close to four years!!!!!!(the gas smell was going into the fresh air intake and then spreading through the 3 condo's!!!  Thank You!

Peggy, Toronto

Hiring a construction contractor to renovate my house for the first time, I was not familiar with any of the DSS-related requirements.  So, it was quite reassuring to find someone like Tony who is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I also needed a quick turnaround for the completed DSS report and Tony delivered (on time, as promised).  In short, Tony was great to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime.

Angela, Burlington

I contacted this company to do an air quality test after we had asbestos wrapping removed from our basement. They were the most reasonably priced. The young man came the same day and was very thorough about the entire process. I appreciate that Tony was able to get my results sooner than the previously date we originally agreed on.

Iman, Mississauga

Tony came to my home to help me inspect the potential root causes of some water damage in my home. Through his vast knowledge and the use of the latest technology, he was able to help me understand what led to the damage and how to better prevent it in the future.
