Le Learning Unit 6 6 Description Title Occupant & Operator Health and Wellbeing Description This learning unit introduces the learner to the main health and wellbeing aspects relevant to FM operations that focus on respecting the environment through efficient integrated waste, energy and water management, and managing the carbon emissions generated by FM activities. Overall Learning Learners should understand key rules and requirements Outcome for Health & Wellbeing when organising and performing facility management operations, securing total customer satisfaction through the use of innovative technology and organizational excellence in a sustainable and environmental friendly manner. EQF level 4 – 5 Duration 20 hrs NLT ECVET credits 1 Prerequisites General+ Learning Outcomes of Learning Units 1,2, 3, 4&5 Assessment 1 assignment: case-study (5 open-ended questions and/or multiple choice test) Learning Outcome 1 State the main principles for keeping optimum thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Learning Outcome 2 Explain potential areas of risk in the workplace and how to take action to minimise the threat. Learning Outcome 3 Describe environmental safety measures. Learning Outcome 4 Advise customers on environmental, health and safety questions.

Th Thermal Comfort Factors determining for Thermal Comfort:  Clothing/Insulation  Air Speed  Humidity  Metabolic Rate  Radiant Temperature  Air Temperature

Fabric Fir irst Approach Involves maximising the performance of the components and materials that make up the building fabric :  Reduce capital  Operational costs,  Improve energy efficiency  Reduce carbon emissions. impact on FM

Superior In Insulation Two Categories of Insulation : Natural Insulation & Synthetic Insulation  Mineral fibre insulation materials  Expanded polystyrene rigid foam (EPS)  Extruded polystyrene rigid foam (XPS)  Polyurethane insulation material (PU)  Foam glass and foam glass granulate  Cellulose insulation  Wood Fibre Insulation Correct Installation is critical in the performance of Insulation.

Superior In Insulation Insulation considerations :  Fire Performance  Moisture permeability  Thermal mass attributes  Thickness for required U-Value

Th Thermal Bridging A thermal bridge is a weak point in the insulation of the building envelope  Thermal bridges will lead to heat/cold losses  Can also lead to low surface temperatures, which can result in condensation and mould growth  Under normal living conditions, the indoor air temperature is around 20 ° C at a relative humidity of 50%.  Condensation on windows will occur at 9.6 ° C  Mould formation is also possible at a temperature of 12.6 ° C at the interior surface of a building component with normal indoor air temperature

Win indows and Orientation Thermal comfort is achieved when the (average) temperature of the coldest surface in the room is no greater than 4.2 degrees below the optimum room temperature.  the maximum U-values of 0.80 W/(m²K) for windows  0.85 W/(m²K) for installed windows are derived from this criterion.  In warmer climates a higher U-value is sufficient for meeting the thermal comfort criteria

Airtightness Basically there are two types of air flow through the building envelope  Outside towards the inside (“INFILTRATION”)  Inside towards the outside (“EXFILTRATION”).  In energy efficient construction methods, both types of air flow should be avoided!  Therefore, airtight construction is necessary.

Ventilation Controlled ventilation is vital particularly in buildings with an excellent level of airtightness.  A very high level of comfort (no draughts, high level of sound protection)  Very low ventilation heat/cold losses  High ventilation efficiency due to directed air flow  Relatively fault-tolerant  Simple supply air heating/cooling is possible

Potential Risk - Summer Comfort The measure of summer comfort is defined by the percentage 10% of hours in the year (total-hours) where temperatures rise above an established threshold of 25 ° C.  Glazing areas and orientation  Ventilation  Shading  Thermal Mass  Influence of heat gains  Influence of heat gains and behaviour  Summer comfort scenarios

Potential Risk - In Indoor Air ir Quality The fabric first approach outlined is a proven route to achieving excellent indoor air quality. The following principles are the key areas which contribute to achieving excellent IAQ  Superior Insulation - Natural Insulation  Thermal Bridging - Mold and Condensation  Windows - Mold and Condensation and Overheating Control  Airtightness – Energy / Control Mold and Interstitial Condensation  MVHR Ventilation - Co2, RH%, ACH, Radon, Co, VOC

Potential Risk - Water Management Smart water meters which can detect leakage and alert facility management.  Smart meters can record water usage for specific areas  Generate reports  Provide alerts when the usage pattern changes or crosses set threshold  Smart irrigation control systems can take inputs from weather monitors, timers and soil moisture sensors and then regulate the amount of water used for landscaping or irrigation.  Smart water management systems will change the process from simply supplying water to managing the demand for water - thus saving water and reducing costs.

Risk Potential - Health Considerations Modern buildings have become more complex. Building services have made structures more comfortable to live in. The ‘intelligent’ building is not however universally considered as such Concerns exist about the Health & Safety of building users The principal areas of concern are:  Legionnaires Disease  Humidifier Fever  Sick Building Syndrome  Radon Gas

Min inimise Ris isk The first step in risk management is identification. This can be a daunting task, especially when you consider trying to identify risks stemming from both internal and external sources.  Identify the hazards  Who might be harmed?  Evaluate the risks  Record your findings  Regularly review your risk assessment DATE: 01 AUGUST 2017 - Prepared by: PROMEA

Environmental Safety Measures  Air emissions and ambient air quality  Energy conservation  Wastewater and ambient water quality  Water conservation  Hazardous materials management  Waste management  Noise  Contaminated land DATE: 01 AUGUST 2017 - Prepared by: PROMEA
