Enquêtes sur les odeurs
Odour issues in buildings are a common complaint with occupants. The issues with smell are often intermittent and are regularly not identifiable or difficult to associate with common odours.
Odour is essentially carried by air as it moves through the building. Air movement will be influenced by pressure differentials or temperature differentials. Survey methodology will vary depending on the construction of the building and the type and frequency of the odour being investigated. If you have an issue with odour affecting a building we suggest giving us a call to discuss the symptoms so that we can work out a strategy for diagnosis.
Les images suivantes donnent quelques exemples des techniques que nous utilisons pour le diagnostic.
Nous mesurons les différences de pression atmosphérique pour déterminer la direction du flux d'air dans un bâtiment. Lorsque nous comprenons la direction du flux d'air, cela nous aide à déterminer l'origine des odeurs.
Smoke or gas testing
Once a source is known, we can use inert gasses or smoke to work out the exact path that an odour is taking.
