Benefits / Controlling Comfort

 

Right now, how comfortable is your working environment? How is it affecting productivity and sales? Specific Heat can help you to create the optimum conditions, giving you the ultimate degree of control over comfort.

 

 

The right temperature is something most of us take for granted, especially since the UK is Europe’s top user of air conditioning. The moment conditions become uncomfortable though – either because it’s too hot or too cold – people notice. And in one way or another that will start to impact your business.

Too hot and people become sluggish... too cold and their concentration is affected, meaning that mistakes start to creep in. So you see, there's a very real business case for maintaining the right conditions.

Shops, restaurants, banks and leisure complexes are all now realising that keeping employees and customers comfortable can have a dramatic effect on the performance of their business.

The Benefits in Brief

  • Improved Productivity
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Increased customer satisfaction

In a month-long study exploring the link between changes in the physical environment and work performance, when the office temperature increased from being chilly to being comfortable, typing errors fell by 44% and typing output jumped 150%.



Workers who are ‘thermally comfortable’ work better, an ergonomics study at Cornell University found. Chilly workers not only make more errors, but cooler temperatures could increase a worker’s hourly labour cost by 10%.
