Employee comfort is paramount in achieving efficient productive output and quality job performance. And having a comfortable working environment makes this possible.
With Summer just around the corner it’s important to beat the heat and provide a cool office space for your team.
Along with providing healthy, and safe, working conditions, having an optimal air conditioning system can reduce your business energy bills. Having a consistent temperature set throughout the day can prevent your expenses from rising, with every degree higher than 27 degrees increasing energy costs by about 10% (source: Good Living)
Some helpful tips to keep your office or commercial HVAC system – heating, ventilation and air conditioning – at an optimal and consistent temperature include:
• Setting the temperature early in the morning before the Summer heat increases during the day
• Locking in the temperature through remote or timer functionality to make sure it is not changed by others in the workplace
• Avoiding unnecessary energy use by setting an ‘on and off’ timer for the system to run during operating hours only, turning off when the building is empty
For a comfortable and productive Summer workday, be sure to have a cooling mode temperature, ideally between 22 and 24 degrees, with temperatures set closer to 24 degrees to consume less energy.
