Why Businesses Need to Act

The Radiation Protection Act 2020 (StrSchG, § 36) obliges employers in radon protection zones to measure at workplaces in basement and ground-floor spaces. If the reference value of 300 Bq/m³ is exceeded, action is mandatory. Offices, schools, nurseries, care homes — every building where people work or are cared for is affected.

In addition: anyone renovating or altering buildings constructed before 1990 must, under BauV (§§ 91 ff.), first test for asbestos and other pollutants. Across a building portfolio, this adds up quickly — without a systematic approach, it becomes costly and hard to manage.

Our Services for Businesses

Radon Measurements Under the Radiation Protection Act

Systematic radon measurements using passive dosimeters over at least 6 months. We plan the measuring points, supply and position the dosimeters, evaluate the results and produce the legally compliant report. If the reference value is exceeded, we advise on remediation measures — from simple ventilation optimisation to a radon extraction system.

Pollutant Inventory for Building Portfolios

Systematic recording of all pollutants across multiple properties: asbestos, PCB, PAH, MMF, lead, wood preservatives. Consistent documentation, prioritised action recommendations, budget planning for remediation. Particularly relevant before planned renovation programmes or when acquiring existing properties.

Renovation Monitoring and Oversight

Independent construction oversight during pollutant remediation with real-time air monitoring. Particularly important for renovations in occupied or in-use buildings — schools, care homes, offices. We continuously monitor particulate matter, VOC and fibres, and document by clearance measurement that the building is safe after remediation.

Recurring Measurements

Radon, indoor air quality, VOC — as an annual contract with fixed measurement dates. For buildings with known contamination or after remediation work. One point of contact, consistent reports, predictable costs.

Who We Work With

  • Property managers: Pollutant inventory and radon measurements across the entire portfolio
  • Schools and nurseries: Radon measurement obligation, asbestos check before renovation, VOC measurements after alterations
  • Care homes and hospitals: Particularly vulnerable occupants, strict indoor air requirements
  • Office buildings and commercial properties: Before renovation, at tenant changeover, for building documentation
  • Property developers: Due diligence on acquisition, pollutant inventory before conversion

Process

  1. Initial consultation: We clarify the requirement — which buildings, which pollutants, which legal obligations.
  2. Quote: Individual quote with volume discount for multiple properties.
  3. Site visit and measurement: Systematic inspection, sampling and dosimeter placement.
  4. Report: Consistent documentation per building with risk assessment and action recommendation.
  5. Remediation planning: On request: referral to certified specialist firms, tender comparison, renovation monitoring.

Pricing

  • Site-inspection flat fee (individual building): €290 (flat, regardless of scope, including report)
  • Radon measurement: Quote after initial consultation
  • Renovation support & monitoring: Quote after initial consultation
  • Framework agreement (multiple buildings): Individual quote

In the initial consultation we clarify the scope and produce a binding quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since the Radiation Protection Act 2020, there is a measurement obligation for workplaces in basement and ground-floor spaces in radon protection zones (104 municipalities in Austria). Schools, nurseries, care homes, offices and all other workplaces are affected. The measurement must be carried out over at least 6 months using passive dosimeters.

Yes. For property managers and operators with multiple properties, we offer framework agreements with volume discounts and consistent documentation. One point of contact for the entire portfolio — from initial site visit to clearance measurement.

Single buildings €290 (site-inspection flat fee, regardless of scope, including report). Radon measurement: quote after initial consultation (situational, depends on measurement points and method). Renovation support and monitoring: quote after initial consultation (scope project-dependent). Framework agreements for building portfolios priced individually on request.
