Refrigerant leaks can pose hidden but serious risks in hotels, apartments, offices and meeting rooms. These gases are odourless and can displace oxygen, leading to dizziness, respiratory problems or worse if undetected. For spaces people occupy daily, monitoring is not optional – it’s a vital safety measure.
Compliance with BS EN378 requires leak detection in occupied rooms served by direct expansion (DX) systems. Installing sensors ensures early warning, protecting both occupants and property while also supporting operational reliability.
Beyond safety and compliance, fitting refrigerant gas detectors contributes to sustainability goals. By preventing uncontrolled leaks, building operators reduce environmental impact and can also achieve BREEAM credit Pol 01, enhancing a project’s overall rating.
A small investment in leak detection technology delivers big returns: safeguarding people, meeting regulatory standards and supporting sustainability credentials.
