Where Does Building Odor Come From?

Building odors can travel through corridors, ventilation systems, doors and shared areas. Finding the source is the first step toward controlling the problem.

Cooking Odors

Food and cooking smells moving from apartments and kitchens.

Waste Odors

Garbage rooms, waste chutes, bins and collection areas.

Sewage & Drain Odors

Unpleasant gases from drains, pipes and wastewater systems.

Smoke & Other Odors

Smoke, pets, humidity and persistent odors in shared spaces.

Odor Can Appear Anywhere in a Building

Shared spaces are particularly sensitive because even one odor source can affect the experience of many residents and visitors.

Corridors Lobbies Elevators Waste Rooms Apartments Parking Areas Gyms Shared Facilities

We Don't Mask Odors. We Control Them.

Air fresheners can change how a space smells temporarily. Effective odor control starts by understanding the source, the gases involved and how contaminated air moves through the building.

1

Identify the Source

Determine where the odor originates and when it occurs.

2

Understand the Odor

Evaluate the likely gases, intensity and characteristics of the odor.

3

Evaluate Airflow

Understand how the odor travels through corridors, vents and shared areas.

4

Select the Solution

Choose suitable filtration, adsorption or oxidation technology.

Different Odors Need Different Technologies

There is no single filter or machine for every odor. The technology should match the source and the gases involved.

Activated Carbon

Adsorption of many VOCs, cooking odors, smoke compounds and organic gases.

Zeolite

Useful for ammonia, moisture-related odors and selected gaseous contaminants.

PCO Technology

Continuous oxidation technology for selected VOCs and odor-causing compounds.

Ozone Treatment

Controlled shock treatment for severe accumulated odors in unoccupied spaces.
