Services
What do you need to find out?
Owners and operators rarely need sensors for their own sake. They need answers they can act on and defend. Start with the question closest to yours.
01Three services
Choose by the question you need answered.
02Why clients commission us
From routine assurance to a specific question.
Five situations in which owners, operators and engineering teams commission independent evidence, each delivered within one of the three services.
Annual environmental assurance
Planned, independent assessments that document how the indoor environment performs, giving engineering and management teams a reference point for identifying changes and priorities over time.
Environmental AssessmentsPre-opening and refurbishment verification
Independent measurement of new or refurbished spaces before they enter service, for owners, operators, developers and engineering teams at commissioning, handover or reopening. Evidence of conditions, not statutory commissioning certification.
Environmental AssessmentsTargeted environmental investigations
Discreet investigation of unexplained odours, ventilation concerns, indoor environmental conditions and recurring comfort problems, examining measured conditions and plausible contributing factors.
Environmental InvestigationsPost-intervention verification
Follow-up measurement after operational changes, maintenance, refurbishment or remedial work, compared with conditions before the change, with measurement uncertainty and operating context stated.
Environmental Monitoring & VerificationEnvironmental technology evaluation
Independent assessment of whether air purification, filtration, a ventilation modification or another building technology produces a measurable improvement: an agreed baseline and protocol, recorded operating conditions and a comparison. Individually scoped; additional instruments, specialist analytical methods or engineering partners may be required, and are confirmed before work is agreed.
Environmental Monitoring & Verification
Why independent assessment
Each situation is served by an independent third-party assessment rather than sensors alone: a defined method, quality-checked measurements, external interpretation against appropriate guidance and clear reporting for decision-makers. It is not statutory certification.
What independent assessment provides03Problems we investigate
The concerns clients bring to us.
Each concern links to the service that addresses it, or straight to a conversation about it.
Guest comfort
Rooms guests describe as stuffy, too warm, too cold or restless at night.
What evidence can help establish
Whether conditions in the affected rooms differ measurably from comparable rooms, when they differ, and the most likely mechanism.
Noise measurement is offered where the appropriate equipment is in place, confirmed at scoping.
Odours
Smells that travel between spaces, recur, or survive cleaning and contractor visits.
What evidence can help establish
Airflow and pressure relationships, timing patterns and plausible pathways, which narrow where to look and which specialist, if any, is needed.
Ventilation & filtration
Systems that are running but may not be delivering what the spaces need.
What evidence can help establish
Measured indicators of ventilation and filtration performance in occupied spaces, interpreted against how the spaces are used.
Detailed engineering interpretation is provided through qualified partners where the findings call for it.
Evidence before a decision
An independent baseline before capital investment, refurbishment, acquisition or handover.
What evidence can help establish
An independent, documented picture of current conditions to inform the decision, and a reference point for later work.
Change over time
Intermittent patterns, or whether conditions changed after corrective work.
What evidence can help establish
How conditions behave over days or weeks in agreed locations and, where comparative evidence is available, whether they improved after corrective work.
Assessment monitoring and post-intervention verification are delivered directly. Permanent monitoring, dashboards and BMS integration are scoped individually and may need specialist equipment or delivery partners.
04Capabilities
What we deliver directly, and what needs more.
Some work needs additional equipment, specialist partners or project-specific technical scoping. We identify it before work is agreed, never after.
- Delivered directly
Indoor air quality assessments
- Delivered directly
Property-wide environmental surveys
- Delivered directly
Environmental spot checks
One-day screening visits with portable monitoring equipment, to help decide whether further assessment is warranted.
- Delivered directly
Environmental investigations and diagnostics
- Delivered directly
Ventilation and filtration investigations using environmental indicators
CO₂, particulate and operating data examined to show how ventilation and filtration appear to perform in use.
- Via specialist partners
Airflow measurement and filtration-efficiency testing
Specialist measurements, scoped and arranged with qualified partners where an investigation requires them.
- Delivered directly
Assessment monitoring
Time-limited sensor deployments, with data analysis, interpretation and written recommendations.
- Delivered directly
Post-intervention verification
Follow-up measurements can help evaluate whether corrective work improved conditions, where suitable comparative evidence is available.
- Requires project scoping
Environmental technology evaluation
Independent assessment of whether a technology or proposed solution produces measurable improvement. Individually scoped to an agreed protocol; may require additional instruments, specialist analytical methods or engineering partners.
- Requires project scoping
Portfolio-level analysis and summary reporting
Optional comparison and summary across several properties assessed under one agreed methodology. Individually scoped.
- Equipment-dependent
Thermal comfort and noise assessment
Offered where the appropriate equipment is in place for the engagement; confirmed when we scope your project.
- Via specialist partners
Specialist engineering interpretation
Delivered through qualified engineering partners where the findings call for it.
- Requires project scoping
Permanent monitoring
Longer-term installations, dashboards and building management system integrations. Individually scoped; may need specialist equipment or delivery partners.
- Delivered directly
- Operational today and delivered by Illuminair.
- Via specialist partners
- Delivered with qualified specialist partners where the findings call for it.
- Requires project scoping
- Needs project-specific technical scoping, additional equipment and, potentially, specialist partners.
- Equipment-dependent
- Offered where the appropriate equipment is in place for the engagement, confirmed at scoping.
05Next step
Not sure which service fits?
Most clients start with a description of what they are seeing. We will suggest the most proportionate starting point, which is sometimes a smaller piece of work than expected.
