Ventilation of the office
Another factor affecting employee productivity is the composition of the air. Comfortable office conditions are strongly influenced by high levels of carbon dioxide, as well as toxic substances released from building materials, furnishings, etc. For mental work, stale air is definitely not the best environment.
Employers should ensure in advance that a ventilation system is installed to allow efficient air exchange in the office. Although some people believe that ventilation is the most appropriate method of ventilation, this is not always the case. While in rural areas such a method can indeed provide a supply of fresh and clean air, in the city the situation is quite different. Dust, dust, car exhaust etc. are definitely not good for the health of employees.
Installing a ventilation system in an office can permanently solve air exchange problems. Ventilation and air conditioning systems can be combined to create a good climate. In addition, the ventilation system can also be automated. In this way, it is possible to maintain optimal microclimate parameters all year round, regardless of the temperature outside. Such a comfortable environment in the office significantly improves the ability of employees to work.
When designing ventilation systems for offices, Kliwenta engineers pay attention to all the nuances, such as its location, ceiling height, surface area, geometry, etc. Only experienced specialists can guarantee a high-quality ventilation installation that will work reliably for many years.
Air conditioning for the office
One of the attributes of a modern business is office space. Just as in manufacturing, in an office environment there are criteria by which the performance of employees can be assessed. The human factor also plays an important role here, as many employees simply cannot perform their duties because they feel unwell or are simply not in the mood. The employer must therefore ensure that his employees feel as comfortable as possible, which will make them as productive as possible.
The temperature in the office is one of the most important factors. If it is too hot, for example, it is unlikely that employees will be able to work actively, be creative and think creatively. From the employer’s side, installing an air-conditioning system in the office space should be seen as a worthwhile investment that will pay off in the form of improved employee productivity.
For air conditioning in a one-room office, a simple split system is sufficient. However, the capacity of this system should be higher than that of a living room, as there are many more people in the office.
Offices comprising several rooms are better equipped with ducted air conditioners or multi-split systems.
For large offices, it is recommended to install chillers or VRV systems. These have sufficient capacity to air condition floors and even buildings that are close to each other.
