The Impact of Air Quality in the office
If you spend a lot of time in an office, especially a
confined environment that you must share with others, good air quality is very
important. Good indoor air quality improves the overall experience of the
visitors and occupants of a building in whatever activity they are engaged
contributing towards a more productive working environment. Poor indoor air
quality contributes to the poor performance of all building occupants causing
lost time autofocus and reduced productivity. Some of the symptoms that may be
associated with poor indoor air quality are tiredness lack of concentration,
headache, dizziness nausea, and irritation to eyes, nose, or throat. Thus, good
air quality is a crucial component in the workplace.
Keep reading to learn about a handful of benefits that come
with maintaining good indoor air quality.
Health
To create ideal health conditions in the office you have to
create the ideal humidity levels. Unfavourable humidity levels can cause an
environment to either become extremely dry or incredibly moist. When an office
space becomes very dry it creates the perfect environment for airborne viruses
to thrive in. Correct levels of humidity, are between the ranges of
40-60% RH and can minimize the growth of bacteria and the transmission of
viruses. On the contrary, levels below 60% RH can cause the air to become too
moist, which can lead to the growth of fungi and mites. So it is extremely
important to achieve just the right humidity levels.
Comfort
It is essential that your employees feel comfortable in the
workplace. Air quality can play a very vital part of this. If your office is
structured in such a way that spaces are being shared, it is already an
uncomfortable place to be and allows for the spread of viruses and germs.
Assuring that the office humidity is at the right level can reduce discomfort,
as well as the potential for ailments and bacteria to thrive.
Productivity
If your employees feel more comfortable in the place that
they work they can better focus on their tasks and be more productive. Good air
quality can minimize bacteria, mold, and viruses, which means fewer sick days
and more working days. When employees constantly have to suffer from allergies,
asthma, and the flu, it can affect the entire business operation.
Eliminating allergens ensures that your employees aren’t
suffering in the office. Frequent vacuuming, maintaining good office
ventilation and air conditioning system keep allergens at bay, filtering out
the particles from the outdoor air. Having the right type of filtration and
having it properly installed, will make a big difference in how clean your air
is.
Don’t let something as simple as air quality negatively
impact the productivity and efficiency of your workplace.
