Many owners of office buildings and apartments are
concerned about
indoor environmental issues, one of the most significant of
which is radon. Because radon is
a Group A carcinogen, it has become
an issue during refinancing, selling the property, or as a result
of occupant
complaints. Large buildings offer challenges beyond those found in homes.
-
HVAC systems can cause significant variations in radon levels from
room to room (see Radon Decay Product Measurements)
-
Radon surveys should include all occupied ground floor rooms
(see Measurement Surveys)
-
Design and installation of radon reduction systems must meet
commercial codes and maintain the value of the property (see
Design Services)
-
The scope of the project can offer
challenges in the management of the project, including the design, bid
development and review, through to execution and retesting. (see
Project Management)
-
Well developed management plans can more cost-effectively address the
most
problematic radon concerns (see
Radon Management Plans)
-
More involved assessments may be required to better characterize
occupant exposures when the building is not occupied around the clock,
which assists in determining of mitigation is actually needed. (see
Case Studies)
Many building risk managers mistakenly believe that radon measurement and
remediation is as expensive as asbestos-related work. This is not
true. Not only is radon mitigation significantly less costly than
asbestos abatement, costs can further be reduced with the involvement of
in-house maintenance staff guided by good design and/or solid management
planning.
CVC can help you identify and resolve radon concerns with a
personalized plan that meets your needs.
