Depending on what phase of construction you are in, how easy it is to access the building, the local neighborhood, etc. it is good to balance this with necessary physical security measures to protect your workers and the property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When it is cooler outside, running the HVAC on heat can help as well. In general, outgassing happens faster the WARMER and DRIER the air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In rooms that have heavier use of epoxy paints, stains on wood, oil base on trim or other strong odorous solvents, keep the doors open when possible to assist in flushing out the room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Time the survey so that you have the best chance of passing.
