Question number3333/2011
Meeting date16/11/2011

Question by Mike Tuffrey

Which buildings owned, occupied or managed by the members of the GLA Group use regularly maintained air filters that comply fully with European guideline EN 13779?

Answer by Boris Johnson (1st Term)

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

Written answer provided on 28 November 2011:

GLA response

City Hall through the building infrastructure contract awarded to Norland Managed Services regularly changes air filters that comply with European Guideline: EN13779

TfL response

Three buildings are fully compliant with EN13779.

Five are planned to be upgraded to be compliant in FY2011/2012.

Seven are planned to be upgraded to be compliant in FY2012/13.

The remainder;

• Require significant upgrade to be compliant

• Have no central ventilation,

• Are naturally ventilated,

• Landlord controlled and maintained.

Where TfL buildings do not currently meet the guidance, TfL’s contracts and standards stipulate EN 13779 is applied when air filters are replaced and committed to this programme.

MPA/MPS response

Please find below a list of buildings where we replace filters that are to the standard EN 779 2002.

This is referenced in the standard EN13779 for indoor Air Quality.

As such we believe this answers the question with regard to air filters.
