We can no longer be reactive in our approach to indoor air quality; Instead, we need to be proactive with our solutions to prevent the spread of such diseases.

Health problems related to poor air quality

Poor air quality can lead to a range of health problems such as headaches, fatigue and respiratory problems. Additionally, it can worsen existing medical conditions such as asthma and allergies, which can lead to increased absenteeism and reduced productivity. How poor air quality affects employees with pre-existing conditions

Employees with pre-existing conditions such as asthma and allergies are at higher risk of developing health problems due to poor indoor air quality. This can lead to more sick days, lower morale, and reduced productivity. A proactive approach to indoor air quality

The importance of proper ventilation

According to a 2015 Harvard School of Public Health study, people who work in well-ventilated offices with low levels of pollution have twice the cognitive performance of those in offices with average levels of pollution. This is particularly important since 90% of organizations’ costs are incurred by their employees.

Reduction of pollutants and allergens

Investing in a well-maintained HVAC system can improve office air quality, reduce the risk of health problems, and increase productivity. A well-maintained HVAC system can filter out pollutants and allergens, ensuring that the air in the office is clean and healthy.

Additionally, regular maintenance can ensure the HVAC system is running efficiently, reducing energy costs and saving money. This can be a win-win for both employers and employees, as a healthier work environment can lead to higher productivity, while lower energy costs can have a positive impact on the company’s bottom line.
