Monitoring indoor air temperature and quality to maintain employee health and productivity

The climate of indoor spaces is a key element in increasing and maintaining productivity in the workplace. Investigations on indoor air quality and legionella testing are needed for all air conditioning installations in offices, halls, production areas.

Hot summer days come with challenges in terms of comfortably carrying out physical or intellectual activities at work, both individually and as a whole team.
An effective and indispensable solution for maintaining an optimal and constant temperature in rooms, halls, production areas is the provision of spaces with ventilation / air conditioning installations.
Regarding the optimal indoor climate, studies indicate temperatures between 22-25℃ and 50% humidity, so as to have positive effects on health and increased productivity. If the temperature drops below 22℃, studies (Cornell University in New York) have indicated a predisposition of employees to make more mistakes, and for temperatures of the working space above 25℃, states of discomfort, decreases in motivation have been manifested to work and even illness.

Did you know that air conditioners were originally used in production halls, cinemas, theaters and luxury hotels? The first use of such a device was in a printing house in Brooklyn in 1902 to prevent warping of printed pages due to hot and humid air. Now these devices are present in most workspaces, being able to reduce the indoor temperature by 10℃
But air conditioning can harm your health. Classic air conditioners do not introduce fresh air into the rooms, but only recirculate the air in the room, cooling/heating it and dehumidifying it. Indoor air is loaded with pollutants released from furniture, building materials, or activities such as smoking, cleaning, using office equipment (xerox, printer, computers) and releases pollutants intermittently. By recirculating the air, the devices are environments for the development of bacteria dangerous to health, favoring contamination with allergens, endotoxins, molds.
