Stockport, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- According to a recent study reported in The Globe and Mail, rising temperatures (especially when they are in the workplace) are linked to lowered productivity. This awareness is expected to have big implications in the UK, where some industry experts already complain that there is a productivity problem – especially when compared to other economically developed countries. The study found that productivity fell by 1% - 3% per every degree Celsius rise in temperature. This suggests that higher workplace temperatures could be having a detrimental effect on productivity, and therefore need to be carefully monitored.
An expert in workplace temperature control is Gradwood, a business which has been closely following the research. It recognises that improperly high workplace temperatures can still be the case in the winter months too - as many people choose to put heating on constant at the highest temperature.
What is important is having an appropriate combination of heating and air conditioning, so a consistently efficient working temperature can be maintained. This is especially important in environments which are more quickly affected by external conditions such as warehouses which can be draughty.
Gradwood are key suppliers of workplace ventilation equipment for heating as well as cooling. They are frequent commentators on industry news:
"The recently released statistics highlight that higher temperatures in the workplace are not necessarily the most effective, even though people may appreciate the 'cosiness'! What we recommend, is having a technologically advanced air conditioning system fitted which will ensure the workplace stays at the most appropriate temperature all year round. It's no wonder that high temperatures can affect productivity – as hot and stuffy environments are not constructive for anyone. We take measures to address that here at Gradwood."
