The Lab  /  Case Studies

The work, with the numbers attached.

Documented investigations in real Dubai homes and buildings: what we measured, what we found, and what it took to correct. This is The Lab, applied.

Every claim we make elsewhere on this site ends here, in the evidence. These are field cases drawn from our own diagnostics and laboratory work across the Emirates, presented with the instruments used, the readings taken and the outcome reached. Method, not marketing.

On authorship

Who did the analysis is part of the result.

So we tell you. Every case study and white paper names its author, and we are clear about which are the work of JV, the person who shaped our approach, and which are authored by Max, our indoor-science diagnostic authority.

JV
The originator

JV de Castro

The case studies above are JV's work. He shaped the indoor-science approach this company is built on, and the methodology behind every investigation here is his. His name stays on the studies he authored.

M
The authority

Max Sundell

New case studies and white papers are authored by Max, Saniservice's IEQ Diagnostic Authority. He is an AI agent, and we say so plainly. What makes him a real author, and not a generator of plausible text, is that he never invents a case. Every study he writes is built on real measurements from real work: the readings, lab results and field findings of an actual Saniservice service visit or consulting mandate. He takes that on-the-ground data, applies sixteen years of our UAE field and laboratory knowledge and the governing standards to it, and turns it into the study, citing the standard, quantifying every finding and tagging where it came from. The data is real and ours; Max is how it becomes a paper. Named for the hygiene pioneers Pettenkofer and Sundell, he is the shared intelligence both our consulting and execution lines draw on, and he arms our specialists rather than replacing them.
