BOOST EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY
We provide clients with the competitive edge that comes from improved air quality. Companies that have taken advantage of our healthier air technologies have reported fewer sick days, greater productivity, and an overall peace of mind that comes from an environment that includes clean purified air.
It Makes Good Business Sense
Employees are by far the largest investment in a company’s operating costs. Per square metre, a company can spend up to 10 times more on employees than on rent and energy costs combined.
Scientific studies have proven that there is a strong correlation between Internal Air Quality, clean indoor air and office task performance can be used to translate poor air quality into dollars lost. In a typical office of many employees' unproductive time due to poor Indoor Air purification methods can contribute to significant sums of money.
Cognitive performance is often measured as the aggregate of myriad mental processing domains. In the Harvard coalition study, participants were subjected to nine separate cognitive functioning tests in offices of differing air quality. The chart shown above includes results from four cognitive tests and shows significantly increased performance in 'Green' and 'Green+' offices featuring HVAC air purification
Bi-polar ionization technology purifies and fortifies indoor air and most importantly, it supports air purification & a workplace environment conducive to high performance and productivity and that supports the psychological and physiological needs of occupants.
Indoor air contains a potent mixture of microbial contaminants, fine particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is typically diminished on two fronts: outdoor pollutants brought in through ventilation and occupant ingress, and indoor pollutants emerging from the very materials and furnishings that make up a building.
More than two thirds of indoor and outdoor air quality studies find higher air pollutant concentration indoors than outdoors. Although indoor air pollutants may not be consciously perceived by occupants, their detriment to health and wellbeing is well documented.
Comparative risk assessment studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have consistently ranked poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental dangers to public health.
The most commonly reported symptoms associated with poor HVAC air purification include headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Studies have also linked long-term air pollutant exposure to impaired memory, degraded cognitive performance, disrupted sleep, increased rates of asthma, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Indoors, particularly in urban and suburban locations, air ion concentration drops significantly. Typical concentration of urban indoor air ions falls between 200–500 ions/cm3 vs 5,000 ions found in nature such as on high mountains and near waterfalls.
The AtmosAir BPI system restores indoor ion concentration to levels found in nature. In the same way tropospheric ions help to clean the air we breathe outdoors, the bi-polar ionization system delivers ionized oxygen molecules that neutralize VOCs, sterilize pathogens, and agglomerate fine particulate matter indoors. Bi-polar ionization does not produce harmful ozone as a by-product.
Furthermore, because of the nature of BPI technology those buildings using it typically reduce outside air intake by up to 50% which results in a significant energy cost reduction
