About specific building environmental hygiene management standard
Last Updated April 1, 2022
This is the site of Health Sanitation Division, Health and Safety Department, Yokohama City Public Health Center. We provide information on the hygiene of buildings.
Please contact Health and Welfare Center Health Sanitation Division, the ward where the facility is located.
Building Environmental Sanitation Management Standards
When it falls under a specific building, its owners, occupants, etc. are obliged to maintain and maintain the specific building in accordance with certain standards specified by a Cabinet Order. In addition, owners of specific buildings are required to appoint a building environmental hygiene management engineer in order to supervise them so that maintenance is performed properly.
In addition, even if it is a building other than a specific building, there is an obligation to make efforts to maintain it according to the building environmental management standards used or used by many people. .
1 Air Environment
Air environment measurement | 1/2 months (regular) |
---|
※Measurements are conducted at least twice a day at facilities with air conditioning equipment and mechanical ventilation equipment.
※Air conditioning equipment: Equipment that can purify the air and control the temperature, humidity and flow rate.
※Mechanical ventilation equipment: Equipment that can purify the air and adjust the flow rate and supply it.
1 | Amount of suspended dust | 0.15 mg or less per 1 m3 of air |
---|---|---|
2 | Containment of carbon monoxide | 6 ppm or less |
3 | Carbon dioxide content | 1,000 ppm or less |
4 | Temperature | 18°C or more and 28°C or less |
5 | Relative humidity | 40% or more and 70% or less |
6 | Air current | 0.5m/second or less |
7 | Amount of formaldehyde | 0.1 mg or less per 1 m3 of air |
※For 1, calibration of the dust meter should be carried out regularly once a year or less.
※Temperature and relative humidity standards do not apply to mechanical ventilation equipment.
※For 7, complete new construction, extension, large-scale repair, and large-scale remodeling, and measure once from the start of use of the building to the latest from June 1 to September 30 .
2 Air conditioning equipment (cooling towers, humidifiers, etc.)
- The water to be supplied must conform to the water quality standards stipulated in Article 4 of the Water Supply Law.
Inspection of dirt conditions | Once every month during the start of use and during the period of use |
---|---|
Cleaning and water conversion | Implement as necessary |
※Even if the usage period is short, regular cleaning should be performed once a year or less.
- Clean the cooling water pipes regularly once a year.
3 When supplying drinking water and domestic water (including central circulation hot water)
Measurement of free residual chlorine | 1/7 days (0.1ppm or more) |
---|---|
Cleaning of water storage tanks and hot water storage tanks | 1/1 year (regular) |
※In the case of combined residual chlorine, retain at least 0.4 ppm.
※If the supplied water may be significantly contaminated with pathogenic organisms, or if there is a possibility that it may contain a large amount of organisms or substances that may suspect that the pathogenic organisms are contaminated, free residual chlorine contained in the water at the hydrant shall be 0.2 ppm (1.5 ppm for combined residual chlorine).
※If the maintenance and management of the hot water supply equipment is performed appropriately (such as checking the temperature in the return pipe) and the water temperature of the water at the terminal hydrant is kept at 55 ° C or more, the water quality inspection of the content of free residual chlorine can be omitted.
※Reservoirs refer to water receiving tanks, elevated water tanks, etc.
※Regarding the cleaning of the hot water storage tank, the cleaning method differs depending on the conditions of the equipment, but as much as possible, use the same method as cleaning the water tank. In addition, it is desirable to carry out equipment that cannot use the same method as the water tank cleaning work due to a closed type, etc. as much as possible according to the situation. In addition, for equipment that cannot be cleaned, be sure to perform cleaning such as drainage.
- Water quality inspection (when there is a water receiving tank that uses only water supplied from tap water or dedicated water supply as a water source, and central circulation type hot water supply)
Water quality inspection items | Standard value | Water quality inspection items | Standard value |
---|---|---|---|
General bacteria | 100 pieces/mL or less | Chloride ion | 200mg/L or less |
Escherichia coli | Not detected | Evaporation residue* | 500mg/L or less |
Lead and its compounds* | 0.01mg/L or less | Organic matter (the amount of total organic carbon (TOC)) | 3mg/L or less |
Nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen | 10mg/L or less | pH value | 5.8 or more 8.6 or less |
