LITMAS provides unique testing products, laboratory and data analysis and training to support facility managers, property managers, owners and tenants to achieve superior indoor air quality and staff retention, attendance and performance in their buildings.
Inferior indoor environments in commercial buildings often result in occupant anxiety, lost revenue and reduced growth opportunity from absenteeism, reduced productivity and lower occupancy rates.
The paradigm shift toward putting ventilation at the centre of occupant health has moved the needle for those owning and operating buidlings. The demand for indoor air quality monitoring amongst a myriad of technologies puts pressure on managers to make quick decisions. Decisions need to avoid unforeseen energy costs and health risks from increased dampness or air flow changes. LITMAS can help to share that responsibiltiy by forecasting and preventing issues before they arise through advising on monitoring programs and assisting with interpretation.
