In a time when health and comfort in the workplace have never been so crucial, understanding and addressing indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial buildings should be a vital consideration for businesses. In this blog post, Superior Air discusses how this can impact health, productivity, and well-being in retail, office and other commercial and industrial settings.
Indoor air quality in commercial buildings, such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, affects not only the comfort but also the health and productivity of the occupants. Given the considerable time people spend indoors, the presence of fresh air, controlled humidity and temperature, as well as the efficient management of pollutants from both outside and inside the building, become paramount. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) underscores these elements as foundational to good IAQ.
Indoor air pollution significantly affects employee health and office productivity. It comes from multiple sources, including mold growth due to moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning agents, and particulate matter from carpets and upholstery. These contaminants can contribute to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and decreased workplace productivity.
Focusing on IAQ in commercial and industrial settings involves a few strategies that can lead to improvements in terms of the health and well-being of employees, tenants and other occupants. Strategies include:
