Offices are often great places for collaboration and productivity, but this environment also has its fair share of toxins, allergens, and dust that gets circulated. All of this leads to poor air quality which can adversely effect everyone if not tended to.
These effects aren’t just limited to the air everyone breathes. Poor air quality can increase the amount employees get sick, and can even effect morale. Here are five simple tips for keeping the air quality high at your office.
Change Your Filters Frequently
Changing your air filters is one of the simplest tasks, but yet is often overlooked in an office environment. Dirt and dust builds up in your filters over time, which is a good thing – that is the purpose of the filter in the first place.
However, left unchanged, that dust makes its way through the filter and into the ducts, recirculating back into the office. Additionally, the buildup restricts air flow, worsening the problem.
Filters should be changed at least once per year, but in a busy office setting, probably more like every six months.
