Healthy Office Air With the air-Q: The MeetingMETER for Productivity & Health at the Workplace
For optimal performance in the office, air quality has to be right. Only healthy office air protects against reduced concentration, fatigue, and infection risk. A CO₂ traffic light alone isn't enough. After all, room air consists of more substances than carbon dioxide. The air-Q supports you here as a comprehensive "MeetingMETER."
Office air can make you sick: how to protect yourself & your colleagues
Workplace air quality can affect your health and productivity. Poor room air risks sick building syndrome.
This is what sick building syndrome looks like:
- Fatigue & exhaustion
- Headaches
- Concentration problems
- Irritated mucous membranes
- Dizziness & nausea
- Increased irritability
Besides stale air from employees exhaling, and thus exceeding CO₂ thresholds, triggers also include pollutants, contamination, off-gassing, or an elevated noise level. As the share of exhaled air rises, so does the concentration of pathogens. This lets viruses and the like spread more quickly. Infection risk rises sharply.
Optimal office climate for more productivity & health
High pollution in the office from electrical devices or improper and/or insufficient ventilation harms health. For more productivity and a healthy office climate, it's necessary to check relevant readings, detect pollutants, and act as needed. The CO₂ value in particular should be continuously monitored. That's because this reading is an excellent indicator for keeping to ventilation intervals or for drawing conclusions about viral load in office air.
Air monitors like the air-Q measure all relevant pollutants in the air that affect office health. Our air monitor air-Q reminds you to exchange air regularly and warns you via an intuitive LED traffic-light display when air is concerning. The built-in health advisor with the air-Q health index and the air-Q performance index tells you when you and your team need a break, since concentration is about to decline. This is also useful during summer temperatures. After all, workplace temperature shouldn't exceed the 26-degree mark.
Besides basic monitoring of carbon dioxide, temperature, and VOCs in the office, the various air-Q product variants offer 5 to 15 finely tuned individual sensors. This gives you full control over air quality, ensures a lower error rate during work hours, guarantees enough energy for strategic decisions, and prevents productivity losses.
