The encouraging benefits linking air conditioning with better health are far-reaching and a heavily explored subject. Research suggests there is great importance in having access to air conditioning, especially for the young and elderly who have more trouble regulating their body temperature. Studies also show a direct link between air quality and productivity, with others documenting the benefits that air conditioning can have at thwarting off heat related illnesses.
With this in mind, have you ever considered the impact an efficient, high-quality solution engineered specifically for your needs could have on your staff, clients, and bottom line?
We know that temperature affects our mind and behaviour, and people are more comfortable when ambient temperatures are neutral, allowing the body to maintain thermal equilibrium – without sweating or shivering. The more the temperature extends beyond the ideal of around 23°C the more distraction or discomfort we feel. By maintaining and managing the temperature you can have a direct impact on your staff and client’s moods and reactions.
Another benefit that air conditioning can have on our health is its ability to reduce the number of airborne allergens and dust mites in the environment. All of which can have positive effects in reducing allergy symptoms, especially for those with breathing conditions, like asthma. The use of air conditioning has also been found to alleviate symptoms and reduce hospitalisation for certain such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, diabetes, and heat related illness like dehydration and heatstroke.
Scientific research is also proving that we sleep better in colder conditions. As our body temperature regulates throughout the day, it starts to lose heat around bedtime (causing the feeling of tiredness). Helping our bodies to cool off quicker at bedtime encourages deeper and more restorative sleep and decreases the risk of other diseases in the process.
