Most facilities managers understand the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ), but have you considered its direct impact on your bottom line?
Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a phenomenon where occupants of a building experience health issues and discomfort linked to time spent in the building, often without a specific illness or cause being identified. Poor IAQ is a primary contributor, with factors such as inadequate ventilation, high levels of pollutants, and excessive humidity playing significant roles. Symptoms can range from headaches and dizziness to respiratory issues and skin irritation, ultimately affecting employee productivity and workplace satisfaction. Addressing IAQ is not merely a matter of compliance; it’s essential for mitigating SBS and fostering a healthier, more efficient environment.
The result? Decreased focus, lower efficiency, and more sick days.
The Cost Factor:
- Reduced cognitive function means less effective work and decision-making.
- Increased health-related absences drive up replacement and recruitment costs.
- HVAC inefficiencies lead to higher energy bills and maintenance expense.
But here’s the good news: proactive air management can prevent these hidden costs. At DevineAir, we help facilities managers optimise air quality through smart monitoring, compliance solutions. By investing in IAQ, you’re not just ensuring a healthier workplace—you’re boosting productivity, morale, and financial performance.
