    I work for a company that does consulting for a large multinational, which regularly places highly in the Best Companies to Work For list. Thing is, they are stuck for space at the moment so have moved a bunch of us contractors (no full timers) into a portacabin measuring about 13 by 25 metres.

    There is no air conditioning or air vents. When the windows are closed it is a completely sealed box.

    With the cold weather it is not fair on those sitting right under the windows to have them open so we are left with totally stagnant air.

    I'm wondering are there any EU directives on ventilation or number of air changes required per hour as this would give weight to our case as at the moment productivity and immune systems are dropping visibly due to the recycled air and lack of oxygen.

    Thanks
