The average worker in New Zealand spends around 1,700 hours per year in the office. Poor indoor air quality, often due to pollutants, volatile organic compounds, and allergens from equipment, machinery, and cleaning agents, can lower productivity and pose health risks in your workplace.

Commercial spaces face similar problems, worsened by heat-producing equipment and allergens like dust mites and pet dander. Indoor air quality significantly impacts employee health, especially considering the substantial amount of time spent at work over a lifetime.

So how do we improve indoor air quality for employee wellbeing?

Solutions include insulation, controlling allergen sources, encouraging a smokefree workplace, opening doors/windows, and using ventilation. Ventilation replaces air polluted with chemicals and bacteria, with fresh air, for a healthier, happy workspace.
