Summary
The client contracted Nova to provide comprehensive building inspections on a floor-by-floor basis to determine if building deficiencies and environmental issues were present, causing significant health effects to employees.
Solution
Vertical exterior sealants were replaced to address extensive water infiltration on curtain walls, which led to significant mold and bacteria growth within the building. Issues with the building’s HVAC system were identified, leading to a floor-by-floor replacement and upgrade of the entire ventilation system (units, ducts, and controls). Exhaust issues were identified that were associated with the underground parking facilities. Exhaust and fresh air equipment and operating procedures were evaluated and adjusted, ensuring that automobile exhaust did not affect the building occupants.
