How would you rate your office in terms of comfort level? Do your employees feel the same way?
A comfortable working environment is, first of all, a healthy microclimate, not a stylish interior. And here completely different evaluation parameters come to the fore, namely:
- Temperature.
- Humidity.
- Conditioning.
- Lighting.
- Noise.
If they are violated, workers have problems with concentration, productivity and ability to work in general. They fall… And with them the success of your business.
To measure indicators in your office, you will need:
- carbon dioxide detector,
- formaldehyde detector,
- thermohygrometer,
- sound level meter,
- luxmeter.
Check list. Ideal office parameters:
1. Air:
- CO2 level does not exceed 600-800ppm,
- air exchange rate – at least 30m³/hour per person,
- humidity level in summer: 60-75%, in winter: 55-70%,
- the maximum concentration of formaldehyde in the air is 0.05 mg/m³.
2. Sound:
- background noise 30-50dB, without monotonous sources of noise at one frequency (usually ventilation),
- lack of reverberation (echo) in the room.
3. Light:
- luminous flux level 480-500 Lux,
- color temperature 4000 Kelvin.
Well, do the measurements in your office meet the standards?
By the way, almost all these indicators are strictly observed in Silentbox acoustic booths, one of the main functions of which is the organization of a separate silent space for employees in open space offices.
