Maximise office comfort

Improving your building’s physical environment will have a number of benefits. Research has shown that people work better in buildings that use increased levels of natural lighting and ventilation. This is because they feel more in control of their environment, more comfortable, more relaxed, more productive and less subject to minor illness and absenteeism.

Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Implementing a demand-controlled ventilation system based on the amount of C02 concentration in the ambient air can result in energy savings between 20-50%. Air quality control also improves the comfort and increases the productivity of staff.

Anti-Glare Measures
You will need to control the solar heat entering buildings, and prevent light entering via windows being the source of glare on our computer screens.

Heat gain can make your staff us uncomfortable, and the suggested ambient temperature in an office is 21.5.c. With air conditioning systems being expensive and not environmentally friendly, it is without doubt better to prevent excessive heat gain.

Natural Daylight
To achieve a comfortable environment, it’s important to ensure lighting, internal temperatures and fresh air are suitable for the occupants’ activities. People prefer to work in natural light. On the other hand their sense of well-being suffers from the noise, airflows and restricted sense of control associated with mechanical ventilation and cooling. Creating a healthier working environment improves staff morale, productivity and profitability. Highly efficient windows can either let in more light, or reduce the visible light transmitted, understanding the layout of your building will enable you to maximise your use of natural daylight.
