Central London HQ — 8 floors, ~900 staff

Post-refurbishment SBS complaint wave. Investigation identified elevated TVOCs and under-ventilation in two cooling-only floors. Resolved with flush-out and BMS rebalancing.

Secondary school — South East

Persistent afternoon symptoms in upper-floor classrooms. CO₂ logging showed peaks of 2400 ppm; mechanical ventilation strategy redesigned to demand-control.

Healthcare admin building — North West

Suspected hypersensitivity reactions traced to chronically damp ceiling void. Microbial sampling confirmed elevated fungal load; remediation closed the case.

4* hotel — Midlands

Guest and staff complaints in conference suite. Thermal comfort assessment revealed extreme radiant asymmetry from glazing; mitigated via film and air-distribution change.

Manufacturing HQ office wing

Cross-contamination from production area suspected. PM2.5 and VOC monitoring quantified ingress and informed pressurisation redesign.

Portfolio-wide IAQ baseline established across 14 UK sites; ranked remediation plan delivered against a 12-month capex envelope.
