Office and commercial buildings may be affected by EMFs from various sources. Electrical rooms, elevator shafts, electrical conduits and transformers can create EMFs that affect nearby spaces.
Sometimes creating a little more space between high-use areas and EMF sources is an effective solution. Other times, shielding is a viable option.
Examples of EMF sources and concerns at work
- Workspaces located near electrical rooms, transformers, or electrical conduits
- Buildings located near high voltage power lines
- Wireless radiation from cellular antennas mounted on the roof of the building or nearby cell towers
- Magnetic fields from electrical equipment, motors or other high-powered sources
- Sensitive electronic equipment being affected by electromagnetic interference
