📢 PSA: Surface cleaning & increase that HVAC to 100% Fresh Air intake
Start 2021 off well and get that airflow up and increase cadence of common area surface cleaning.
🌇 Clean air: Where possible, increase the buildings fresh air intake to as close to 100% and have re-circulation limited where possible.”
This week’s announcements from Pullman Hotel Isolation facility and the generally hot summer temperatures we’re experiencing suggest that if you look after an highly occupied building - increase your fresh air intake now and increase the cadence of surface cleaning.

Aseem Azhar’s chat with IKEA CEO, Jesper Brodin
The Infinite Monkey Cage - And, yes it’s as good as it sounds! Astronomer Brian Cox and Comedian Robin Ince bring science and comedy together
In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg and his guests is also a great BBC production that goes back to the 90s
The Freakonomics interview with Mary Bragg, CEO of General Motors is also super cool. A trained mechanical engineer, she is working to electrify the American conglomerate

Our mantra is to work smarter, not harder when looking after Industrial properties. As such, we’re a firm believer in safe traffic management systems.
