Ensuring building occupants in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean have access to a healthy indoor environment are the building scientists and indoor air quality experts at Zimmetry Environmental.

In late June, Better Ventilation Pays Off In Productivity, Health was published by the Healthy Facilities Institute. The feature looked into building ventilation standards that are based on minimum requirements and how increasing ventilation rates can have a significant positive impact on building occupants and their indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
 
An important component of IEQ that was scrutinized in the report was the role of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to the piece, carbon dioxide has traditionally been viewed as a “surrogate or proxy for indoor air contamination,” but the article examines viewing carbon dioxide instead as an actual “contaminant” that has an impact on health, productivity and cognitive enhancement.
 
“Building ventilation and indoor air quality play a critical role in our wellbeing as most people in Puerto Rico and across the rest of the United States spend up to 90% of their time indoors,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental. “In addition to the potential to be exposed to elevated carbon dioxide levels, it is not uncommon for indoor pollutants to accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort issues when too little outdoor air enters a building. These may include mold, bacteria, tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radon, allergens, particulate matter, elevated levels of carbon monoxide and other pollutants.”
 
Ensuring building occupants in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean have access to a healthy indoor environment are the building scientists and indoor air quality experts at Zimmetry Environmental. Their professionals offer ventilation audits, air testing and monitoring, and comprehensive building investigations. If issues are uncovered, their staff can provide recommendations and oversight on steps to resolve any concerns. The end result is a healthy indoor environment with happy and productive employees and building occupants.
