Economic, Environmental and Health Implications of Enhanced Ventilation in Office Buildings

Buildings Impact Your Health In More Than One Way…

Current building ventilation standards are based on acceptable minimums. Three decades of research demonstrate the human health benefits of increased ventilation above these minimums. Recent research also shows the benefits of human decision-making performance in office workers, which translates to increased productivity.

However, the adoption of enhanced ventilation strategies is lagging. We sought to evaluate two of the perceived potential barriers to more widespread adoption-Economic and environmental costs.
