Atmosphere is important in any workplace, and that doesn’t just mean whether your staff get along together. Maintaining a comfortable temperature and a flow of fresh, clean air helps to keep your office a happy and healthy place, allowing everyone to reach their full potential.

Why is air conditioning/ventilation in the office important?

The temperature in an office is often overlooked as something unimportant. However, recent studies have shown that temperature can have a direct effect of productivity, with 29% of workers becoming inefficient for up to half an hour a day purely because the temperature is unsuitable. A stable and comfortable temperature also helps to keep everyone harmonious and profitable.

Providing a comfortable working environment can be done effectively through an office air conditioning system that is able to respond rapidly to changes. This means the temperature remains stable and is more energy efficient option for many workplaces.

Humidity is often more of a year-round problem than many of us realise, as it can increase within an office when the temperatures outside drop. This not only gives a false impression of the temperature within the office it can also lead to problems involving mould and mildew. If humidity levels become too low, it can lead to throat and eye irritations so an office air conditioning unit can help to balance the humidity levels to between 40 and 60%.

Air conditioning doesn’t just tackle the temperature of the air, it also impacts on the quality of the air too.

Office air conditioning units filter out dust and allergens, which can reduce a range of illnesses and allergies. The air in an office should be changed periodically throughout the day to provide adequate ventilation and an office air conditioning system can draw air from outside and mix it with warm air within a space to keep things comfortable and healthy. This office air con is not also good for the health of your staff, it also protects your equipment which can generate heat of its own and break down.

Types of Air Con units

Different workplaces will require different office air conditioners, and we can help you to choose the right one. Wall-mounted units are ideal small office air conditioners as they are long and thin and can be placed at high levels on the wall.

The bigger your office, the more units you can add. They are usually silent so you can rest assured that they will cause no disturbance or background noise no matter how many you include.

A ceiling-mounted unit is also very popular within office environments as it is almost entirely hidden within a suspended ceiling. Their multiple air flow makes them great for larger offices, and they are very discreet and more pleasant to look at. If you have a suspended ceiling, then you may also want to consider a ducted air conditioning system, as this has only small grilles visible.

Does your office air con need servicing?

As with all aspects of life, we have to take care of the things we love, and the same is true of your office air conditioning. Most air conditioning systems will need to be serviced annually as they can lose up to 5% of their efficiency if neglected. Your office air conditioner may need to be serviced if it is either under or over-used, if it has started to make noises, if you notice it dripping, or if the blown air doesn’t seem as cool as it should be.

By servicing your air conditioner regularly, you can ensure that it stays efficient and that it is clean and clear – an important factor if it is working to purify the air in your office.

Office Air Conditioning Installation Case Study

We were approached with the task of designing an air conditioning system to both heat and cool a new office fit out on a high rise building in Nottingham city centre.

The client told us that as the offices were on the 5th floor, and had single glazed windows down the full length on both sides, heating and cooling the space had always been an issue. After visiting the site and meeting with the client to discuss their needs, we designed a system to fit their spec; provide efficient, reliable, year round, temperature control at a fair price!

Using Toshiba air conditioning, we came back to the customer with a system that would give independent control for each of the smaller offices and meeting rooms. To cover the open plan area of the office we opted for a large quad system, with the aim of keeping the whole area under one point of control but being able to balance the output where needed.

Once we had agreed on the finer details our team set to work on the installation. All the pipe and cabling would be secured on cable tray inside the ceiling void, giving a neat and tidy finish. The ceiling cassettes were each supplied with 2 litre tank pumps to give reliable condensate removal.

One of the more challenging aspects of this installation was to get our pipes from the 5th floor ceiling void, down to the flat roof above the 2nd floor.

We managed to work out a route down a tight riser and core drill a neat hole out onto the roof with zero disruption to the offices on other floors. Once out on the roof the condensers were sat on concrete slabs and pipe work ran on tray behind the units, resulting in a simple, neat job.

The settings on select systems were altered to give premium performance where needed and a timer set up to suit the end users requirements.

The final result was a system that surpassed the client’s initial specification, followed by a service agreement giving 5 years of worry free comfort.
