The daily activities (educational, labor, health, leisure, etc.) require daily the prolonged stay of people in all types of offices, buildings and urban or industrial facilities.

According to the WHO, the population of cities and workers in offices spend between 80 and 90% of their time in closed environments, whose air is contaminated to a greater or lesser degree, which can cause serious health problems.

Currently there are enough signs that in the offices, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, nursing homes, etc., coexist bacteria, viruses, mites, particles, environmental tobacco smoke, etc., capable of altering the air quality inside and cause harmful effects on the health of people.

According to estimates from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pollution levels in closed environments can be 10 to 100 times higher than outdoor concentrations, which together with inadequate operating conditions of ventilation and recirculation systems of air, cooling and / or heating, suggest a potential problem of air quality within said spaces and cause discomfort, sick leave, poor performance and the “sick building syndrome”.

In order to comply with the current Regulation on Thermal Installations of Buildings (RITE), periodic analysis of the air quality inside the buildings must be carried out analyzing possible chemical pollutants (CO, CO2, NOx, SO2, etc.), physical (humidity) , temperature, noise, etc …) and biocontaminants (humidity, ventilation, fungi, etc.).

Stenco has experience, qualified technicians, measuring equipment in the field and an accredited Laboratory to carry out all these controls according to the UNE 171300 and UNE 100012 norms and to carry out the corresponding Technical Report.
