Occupant comfort monitoring measures building vibration and movement to ensure human comfort and productivity in office spaces, laboratories, hospitals, and residential buildings. These systems use sensitive accelerometers to detect vibrations from traffic, construction, machinery, or wind that could disturb occupants or affect sensitive equipment. We deploy nationwide across high-rise buildings, healthcare facilities, and research institutions, providing real-time data that helps facility managers maintain comfort standards and meet lease requirements. Our monitoring meets international standards for human comfort including ISO 2631 and building code requirements for vibration serviceability. Systems include automated alerts when vibration levels approach comfort thresholds, supporting maintenance decisions and helping resolve occupant complaints.
What We Include
- High-sensitivity accelerometers for vibration measurement
- Real-time comfort level calculations against international standards

- Integration with building management systems
- Comfort reporting for lease compliance and insurance
- Trend analysis for long-term vibration patterns
Common Situations We Handle
- A high-rise office building experiences occupant complaints about floor vibration
- A hospital needs to ensure stable environments for sensitive medical equipment
- A research laboratory requires monitoring to protect precision instruments
Frequently Asked Questions
What vibration levels are considered uncomfortable for occupants?
We monitor against ISO 2631 comfort standards for different building types. Our nationwide experience ensures appropriate thresholds for various occupancies.
How do you monitor comfort in multi-tenant buildings?
Sensors placed at representative locations with lease-required monitoring. Systems nationwide support building management and tenant relations.
What causes building vibrations that affect comfort?
Traffic, construction, machinery, and wind loads. Our monitoring nationwide identifies vibration sources and their impact on occupants.
How does comfort monitoring support laboratory operations?
Sensitive equipment requires stable environments. Our precision monitoring nationwide ensures research and manufacturing quality.
What happens when comfort thresholds are exceeded?
Automated alerts notify building management immediately. Our nationwide support helps resolve vibration issues quickly.
