With an increased focus on indoor air quality, more businesses are working to meet new expectations. So, here's a bright idea: Go beyond minimum standards to improve air circulation for a safer and more productive indoor environment.
Fresh air and ample circulation are key ingredients to improving indoor air quality, which has been linked to improved productivity and fewer sick days. An economizer or even a dedicated outdoor air system can be set to achieve a comfortable number of air changes for any business type. Those air changes bring fresh air that replaces the air exhaled by people. That fresh air reduces the chance of passing contagions and also helps people feel more alert, keeping your employees at work and reaching their full potential.
Improved air circulation can help your employees enjoy their surroundings better, leading to better retention. In business environments where customers are in the space, that same alertness and comfort can translate into increased sales.
If you see air circulation and indoor air quality as simply a standard to be met, maybe you should consider using it as another tool to help you get the most out of your people.
