The British summers are getting hotter as the years go by, and those long, humid days in the office are becoming all too common.
Which is why office cooling systems are becoming a staple for businesses across the country.
These cooling systems are no longer an office luxury, research has shown that workplaces without these systems in place experienced a significant decrease in productivity compared to those that did.
Here at Ecotech, we want everybody to work in a comfortable, safe environment. Here’s why having an office cooling system is essential during the British heatwaves.
Employees working without an office cooling system in place reported a drop in their productivity resulting in lost time at work.
The Facilities Management Journal found that 61% of office workers in the UK reported their productivity taking a nosedive during the hot summer months.
27% of the survey admitted to losing more than an hour of their time a day.
With an office cooling system in place, workers are not negatively impacted by the heat, reducing their stress levels and resulting in a much more productive workforce.
The heat can definitely impact your productivity, but it can also impact your physical health.
Without an office cooling system, air quality can significantly decrease, this can give rise to indoor air pollution. It has been proven that poorly ventilated office spaces are breeding grounds for bacteria, dust and mould.
But modern cooling systems do more than just keep you cool, they are designed to filter the air too.
Resulting in a happier, healthier workforce.
During the hot summer months, it’s important to keep your IT equipment cool, as too much heat can cause a lot of technical issues.
Office cooling systems can prevent your technical devices from overheating, as nobody wants to deal with losing work because of their computer overheating and shutting down.
A good quality office cooling system can protect your IT equipment as well as important work.
In summer, opening windows to cool down is common-place. But open windows result in a lot of insects disrupting the work day, this issue can even go as far as pest infestations when not properly dealt with.
Bugs in the office aren’t just annoying, pests can easily contaminate surfaces and food, causing illness throughout the workplace.
Office cooling systems can eliminate the need for open windows, keeping the bugs out while keeping the office cool.
Office cooling systems are not only beneficial to those working, because it can leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits the building.
Stepping into a cool, well ventilated office will make clients and visitors feel at ease and welcomed, knowing you care about your staff and business and encouraging them to engage more with your business.
Investing in a good quality office cooling system can reduce your energy consumption as well as saving you money in the long run.
Small businesses are estimated to make up around 50% of all UK driven emissions, while office cooling systems do cost more than an electric fan, many offices have multiple fans running all day, this can cause both energy bills and usage to stack up quickly.
Good air conditioning can reduce your usage and the amount of money spent on electricity.
The UK health, safety and welfare regulations stipulate that employers must provide their staff with a comfortable work environment, with temperature in indoor workplaces and ventilation being two key points in the legislation.
Office cooling systems are the best way to maintain a healthy temperature and good air quality for your staff during the hot summer days.
Open windows can pose a real threat in the office when not properly monitored.
People have fallen out of high rise buildings because of it, and windows left open overnight can make the building more vulnerable to robberies.
Office cooling systems can keep the workforce cool and comfortable while also protecting the best interest of the people and the building.
Opening the windows to keep the office cool can result in a lot of outside noise making its way inside the building.
This noise can distract employees and reduce their productivity and workflow.
Office cooling systems can help keep the windows closed and noise to the minimum while keeping the building at a comfortable temperature.
Modern office cooling systems are designed to work as efficiently and sophisticatedly as possible, meaning replacing your old systems and maintaining new ones can save your business time and effort in the future.
These office cooling systems are built to work and to last, so there will be fewer call outs for repairs.
