More Productive Work Environments
Most existing structures and even many new buildings constructed today suffer from poor interior air quality and limited natural lighting. Interior air quality is typically 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside of the building even in urban and industrialized areas and often leads to symptoms of sick building syndrome (see Indoor Air Quality). This condition can be rectified utilizing low and no VOC building materials in new and renovated construction as well as an adequate supply of fresh air. Creating a natural living environment inside the structure (see Living Environments) will also assist with this problem in addition to creating a more productive working environment as well as requiring more natural lighting within the interior of the building. Natural lighting not only creates a more productive environment but is also healthier for you as well as decrease lighting bills.
Many studies have shown that healthier and more aesthetically pleasing indoor environments with clean air and more natural lighting have increased work productivity, performance and test scores as well as lowering absenteeism and turnover. Thus, all new construction as well as renovation projects should be design and constructed around the principal of creating the ultimately living and working environment for the occupants of the structure, which in turn benefits the owner or employer with higher occupancy rates and greater productivity.
