The World Green Building Council (WGBC) recently published a report titled Health, Wellbeing and Productivity in Offices and in this article we highlight the relevance of underfloor air conditioning systems to a number of key findings.<\/p>\n
Underfloor systems are commonly used in office environments, utilising the plenum beneath a raised floor as the ventilation zone.\u00a0 Fully conditioned air is fed into the plenum by zonal downflow units (CAM), which is then supplied into the workspace via fan terminal units (Fantile).<\/p>\n
The fantile units feature integrated controllers where users can personally adjust fan speed and temperature to suit their own comfort.\u00a0 Systems can be configured with underfloor or high level return and can easily integrate with passive or other ventilation systems.<\/p>\n
The WGBC report findings clearly state that there is overwhelming evidence that the design of an office impacts the health, wellbeing and productivity of its occupants; and with a huge 90% of business operating costs attributed to staff, the potential impacts of indoor environment design should be a major concern.<\/p>\n
