Air Score Silver
Ensuring good indoor air quality has never been more crucial. That's why we're thrilled to announce that Canvas The Old Fire Station has achieved AirScore Silver.
AirRated's assessment used the latest sensor technology to monitor five key parameters: humidity, temperature, PM2.5 (fine dust), TVOCs (total volatile organic compounds), and CO2. This data was analysed by AirRated’s environmental scientists to determine our AirScore. A Silver rating means we're providing a great indoor environment!
