Case studies: measured results on real buildings

We spend 90% of our time indoors – often in crowded spaces without adequate air changes. Numerous scientific studies show that productivity and well-being are directly related to indoor air quality (IAQ). It has also been shown that the risk of airborne disease transmission in enclosed spaces can be reduced by ensuring good indoor air quality.

Leading health authorities, therefore, recommend monitoring and control of IAQ parameters (VOC, PM, CO2) in indoor environments to help prevent the spread of pollutants including viruses, bacteria, and mold.

With Aircare you can improve the performance of your employees

A study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that decreasing CO2 levels in offices generated a 50 percent increase in employee cognitive function.

Indoor noise, temperature, humidity, and light levels also affect workplace health and productivity.

According to a Cornell University study, high noise inside offices decreased employee performance on tasks requiring understanding and concentration and reduced overall job satisfaction.

Employee productivity and cognitive ability can increase by up to 50 percent with an air quality control system and indoor comfort.
