The cost-effective way to boost workplace health: Fans

The worldwide lockdown due to the Novel Coronavirus has been detrimental to the health and well-being of many. The series of unlock for many nations have not been proven to work for the betterment. However, no country can be kept under a strict lockdown for more than 60 days irrespective of the consequences.

For many of us, it would still be the usual work from home which depends on the distance between the residential and workplace location. But as you are aware, most businesses have resumed in full force after months of contemplation and wait. Health awareness at the workplace has been on the agenda since a while but the focus amid a pandemic is now more than ever. 

The government of many nations including Australia have issued guidelines which address the concerns associated with air conditioners (AC) and need for natural ventilation to curb the spread and increase antibodies to fight any kind of infection. 

According to the compiled guidelines, an AC should operate in the range of 24-30 degrees for residential properties. Perhaps a relative humidity of 45% to 70% is considered to be the most suitable. The humidity helps decrease the problems of pathogens which in turn adds to boost your immune system. 

Furthermore, the recirculation of cool air by the air conditioner should be supported by the outdoor air intake. It is recommended to open the window slightly along with the fan or exhaust or natural ventilation.
