Poor air quality, particularly in sealed offices with mechanical ventilation or air conditioning, can lead to a higher than average number of occupants reporting symptoms such as headaches, dry throats or sore eyes. This phenomenon is often referred to as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).
Severe cases of SBS can lead to a significant cost to businesses in the form of;
- High sick leave and staff turnover.
- Reduced work morale, work ethic and efficiency.
- Lost time dealing with complaints.
