Car parks & enclosed areas require adequate ventilation to keep everyone safe. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an important part of your safety programs. There are a number of standards, regulations and practices that should be observed and adhered to.
Many of these standards can be difficult to interpret. Some regulations involve complicated maths to determine correct air flow ratios & gas concentrations. Thankfully, the team at MST Air Conditioning Services are qualified, experienced & competent providers that know exactly what's required. We take away the guesswork, by applying our knowledge, experience & practical know how to your application.
Legal risk aside, inadequate or non-operational car park & enclosed area ventilation systems can be dangerous, hazardous or even fatal. Exhaust fumes contain harmful pollutants including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrous Oxides (NOx), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & other heavy metal compounds. Without adequately operational ventilation systems, poisonous, toxic gases can rapidly overcome & cause suffocation or death.
Some of these gases, including Carbon Monoxide can lead to fatalities even in small concentrations
It is also a fact that many older buildings utilise large fans operating at full power 24 hours a day. Others might employ two speed fans that run continuously. These systems must continue to operate to ensure fresh air is continually introduced.
Continuously operating fans at full power or even half power is money wasted in excess energy usage that could be costing many thousands of dollars each year. A current generation Carbon Monoxide monitoring and control system with variable speed drive technology will automatically start and stop your ventilation system when its required and will save you money year after year! Additionally, ongoing maintenance costs are reduced by operating motors & fans less often. In turn this also decreases wear and tear, corrosion & noise related complaints.
Investing in a modern control & monitoring strategy might appear costly initially. However, our clients have seen a return on the initial investment of equipment & installation costs in as little as 12-24 months (some even less). Factor this with the extended serviceable life of your equipment resulting in less break down repairs. You can be saving thousands of dollars each month for years into the future.
Contact us & ask us to compile a proposal and estimated return of investment for your exact scenario to get a better picture of your savings & return on investment. You can also discuss with us a safety & compliance audit for your installation to ensure it is fully operational & compliant thus minimising legal exposure.
Even if you are not currently looking to upgrade. It is a good idea to ensure your equipment is running as designed & intended efficiently as possible. Contact us to discuss the preventative maintenance program for your building today & ensure smooth operations without unexpected costly failures or interruptions.
