BETTER MEDICAL CENTRE

Healthy Buildings International Pty Ltd (HBI) was commissioned by UL Verification Services Inc. to perform an Indoor Air Quality Assessment of the Better Medical Centre located at 15 Victoria Cres, Mount Barker SA during the month of March 2023.
Based on the observations and results of the assessment HBI considers that indoor air quality in the building was acceptable as it met Australian Standards, with common indoor air pollutants either not detected or present at acceptably low concentrations.
The air handling units were found to be in good condition and well maintained. Inspection and assessment of the air filters and air supply ducts found them to be in good condition.
Tests conducted to assess various building air flow patterns showed that the building was positively pressurised and internal air flows were satisfactory. No visible stains or discolouration consistent with microbial growth were noted and no excessive dampness was identified using the thermal imaging camera.
Sampling and analysis of the building air for formaldehyde gas returned results that were below both the World Health Organization’s recommended guideline of 0.08ppm and the HBI adopted criterion of 0.3 ppm. They are therefore considered to be satisfactory.
