Lately, early mornings in the Gold Coast heat up quickly, but by noon the sky turns grey, creating unstable weather that can increase stress, reduce employee comfort, focus, and overall productivity.

How clean air conditioning affects employee productivity

Indoor air quality is crucial for every environment, especially offices as it matters for overall well-being and employee productivity. Research has shown clean air conditioning (AC) also has a great impact on enhancing health: 

• Air quality affected by the AC system has a positive impact on cognitive functions, enhancing your ability to focus and response times, which directly boosts productivity.
• People working in offices with clean air and good ventilation can think twice as clearly as those in offices with more pollution.

Take a closer look to see how clean air can impact your productivity at work:

• Support health during winter: Clean air conditioning units help filter out dust, mold and indoor pollutants that often accumulate when windows remain closed in the winter. This reduces the risk of headaches, the flu or breathing issues, especially for those with asthma or seasonal allergies. Having good health helps increase cognitive function, leading to better performance at work.
• Reduce stress and boost your mood: Just like how relaxing in a fresh, comfortable café lifts your mood, clean air conditioning at work creates a calm and focused atmosphere. In winter, when stale indoor air can feel heavy and draining, good ventilation and balanced temperature help reduce stress. It also keeps employees refreshed every day.
• Increase comfort and focus: Imagine working in weather that changes unexpectedly, it may disturb you and make it hard to focus. That’s why clean air can ease your mind, give you fresh air to concentrate better on your work.
• Promote collaboration and teamwork: When people feel physically comfortable, they’re more likely to communicate clearly, stay patient and work well together.

Wanna invest in high quality AC systems in the office, what should you focus?

• Choose energy-efficient systems: Select energy-efficient models with high energy efficiency ratings (EER) to reduce operating costs. This helps cut down electricity bills and keep your space cool without big temperature swings or wasted power.
• Add air filters and purifiers: Choose systems equipped with high-quality filters that remove airborne pollutants, allergens and dust. You can also add HEPA purifiers – filters that trap tiny particles like dust and pollen to boost air quality and help your team breathe easier.
• Don’t skip maintenance: Invest in reliable, durable air conditioning units that require minimal repairs and have a long lifespan. Remember to have a routine check-up to maintain the AC system.
• Keep humidity in check: Too much moisture can lead to mold and an uncomfortable office. Look for systems that can balance humidity for a fresher space. Ensure the system can consistently maintain office temperatures within the ideal range (around 21°C to 24°C).
• Make sure there’s enough ventilation: Good airflow brings in fresh air and pushes out indoor pollutants. Double check that your ventilation system works properly or get help fixing it if it doesn’t.
