RISE can conduct independent investigations, evaluations and, if necessary, limited field measurements of the ventilation function in different types of buildings. Ventilation function in the form of air flows, air quality and thermal comfort, as well as heat recovery and electrical efficiency.
Purpose
As an independent part assist users and/or property owner in investigating, evaluating and, if necessary, making limited field measurements of the ventilation function in their buildings, usually in connections with them being uncertain or having complaints about the ventilation function. RISE does not carry out adjustments or routine ventilation checks, such as OVK, but refers such assignments to consultants who routinely perform this type of service.
Through RISE's accumulated and long-standing experience in the ventilation area (theoretical/academic as well as from laboratory tests and field assignments) we have a broad and deep knowledge of how ventilation systems work and what can be wrong and cause problems.
Many problems with indoor environment and/or high energy use are due to faults and deficiencies in the function of ventilation. There may be errors in the design as well as during the installation or in the operation and control of the system.
Many times, users or operating staff have not received enough information and knowledge about how the system works and how it should be managed.
Method
The customer's need is identified via telephone and/or e-mail. Then an indication of price and delivery time is first given. If the customer is still interested, we may request additional documentation in the form of drawings, protocols, etc. before we write a formal quote. Since a fixed price is often difficult to give, the work is usually offered on a current hourly rate up to a maximum price.
If the quotation is accepted, a time for ocular inspection and eventual measurements is then determined in consultation with the customer. Often, an ocular examination is enough to give a statement on the function of the ventilation and any suggestions for measures. In some cases, more detailed measurements may need to be performed, either by RISE or by another actor.
Deliveries
Usually, the customer receives a report that describes the background, implementation and results. For shorter projects, simplified reporting can be done via e-mail, possibly with attachments in the form of pictures, tables and/or diagrams.

Price
Price on request for quotation. Usually on a current hourly rate up to a maximum price which can be increased after agreement with the customer.
Delivery time
Depending on already planned assignments, project start-up time can normally vary between 1 - 4 weeks. Depending on the scope of the project and possible need for measurements, implementation can take anywhere from a few days to several months. In the latter case, of course, not full time.
Factors that affect delivery time are coordination with other actors, e.g. sub-consultants, or that certain measurements require a certain outdoor climate or a certain internal load.
Preparations
Preparations are normally required in the form of coordination with other assignments, contacts with customers and other actors, review of documentation, find the appropriate date for on-site inspection, book any measuring equipment and means of transport.
