A good workplace environment is essential if you wish to lift employee morale and create a happy workplace culture. After all, there are many benefits related to a good working environment, such as reduced stress and happier, more successful employees. But how can you create such an environment? One way to do this is to improve the air quality of your property through the installation of an MVHR unit. An MVHR unit can provide a healthier environment by replacing old, polluted air with fresh, clean air. This can lead to happier employees who are much more productive than their unhappy counterparts.
Still unsure on whether your workplace could benefit from an MVHR system? The following guide explains the positives an MVHR unit could provide you and your workforce.
Healthier (and Happier) Employees
A constant supply of fresh air is essential when ensuring a healthy working environment. Not only does it rid the space of any impurities and toxic pollutants that are found in common products such as cleaning supplies, but it can flush out any particles that could trigger allergies or an asthma attack.
An MVHR system supplies a property with fresh air by removing the existing air and replacing it with new, fresh air. The ventilation system will also filter the heat from the air and pump it back into the property, so you do not have to spend money reheating the new, colder air. This can not only save you money, but it will also maintain a comfortable and regular temperature for your employees.
Employees thrive when they work in a well-ventilated environment and one that is free from impurities and bad odour. Furthermore, employees will all enjoy the way the MVHR system controls the temperature and helps reduce the likelihood of a cold breeze.
Fewer Distractions
Traditionally, we would open the window for fresh air and rid the office space of any bad smells and pollutants. However, this can lead to distractions from the outside such as loud noises from passing traffic or pedestrians. Of course, an MVHR system does not mean you shouldn’t open your office windows ever again, but it does present you with an option if it is too cold outside or you are unable to focus from the added noise the outside brings into the workplace.
Reduces Damage
Many businesses will rent their office spaces, and in this situation, business owners will want to look after the building as much as possible so that if they were to move, they would not have to pay for any repairs outside of the usual wear and tear.
With so many people in one space, all working and talking, your office may be at risk of condensation build up due to the humidity. An MVHR unit’s filtering system, however, helps regulate humidity, reducing the likelihood of condensation appearing on the windows and walls of the building.
It is, however, important to note that what makes an MVHR system reliable is proper installation. Poor installation can cause filtering problems and reduce the efficiency of the unit. Your employees could then experience cold spots from the unit not returning the heat efficiently. Therefore, the best way to get the most out of your money is to turn to trusted professionals such as those at BPC Ventilation. Not only will they help install the MVHR system and explain how it works, but they can send you a free, no obligation estimate.
As an employer, it is your duty to ensure your employees are happy and healthy in the workplace. Reducing the risks of air pollution via an MVHR system is one great way to lift morale amongst workers while looking after the integrity of the building.
