REDESIGNING FOR HEALTH

A Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) Issue

When a client faced the challenge of Sick Building Syndrome, they turned to Victoria for a solution.

The building was troubled by SBS, and it was clear that a comprehensive redesign was necessary.

Victoria took on the task to not only resolve the immediate issues but also to create a healthier, more energy- efficient environment for the future.

She redesigned the HVAC plant and its systems, addressing the root causes of SBS.

The result was a new innovative HVAC system for the building that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations.

SBS is a condition where building occupants experience acute health effects linked to time spent in a building.

It can be a significant issue, impacting productivity, health and well-being.

Additionally, having the right design solution is not confined to saving money. It also gives you peace of mind. Reducing stress and sleepless nights associated with fixing preventable issues.

The client also gained an additional positive outcome. By installing more energy-efficient HVAC plant as part of their design solutions, their operational costs also significantly reduced.
