Ensuring Optimal Working Environments for Tenants

The choice of where to locate your office space can be influenced by things like tenant pricing, cost of living, access to public transportation, and what industries dominate the location to name a few. If you settle on a location in a developed business sector, you can gain access to thousands of eligible workers willing to commute. However, it also means heightened exposure to polluted air, which gets drawn in through your HVAC system and can cause a variety of building-related issues. In a time where social consciousness revolves around the impact of corporations on the physical and mental well-being of their employees, many people are turning toward technology that can reduce many of the health burdens that accompany working in a polluted urban area.

One real estate group that has taken both their employees and their local community into consideration is Paramount Group, Inc. Headquartered in New York City, this real estate investment trust owns, operates, manages, acquires, and redevelops high-quality, Class A office properties in business districts across New York City and San Francisco. Paramount Group is taking strides to provide tenants with strategic benefits that will attract and retain high-quality tenants. That is why they have installed select ActivePure devices to provide tenants with higher air quality standards in the wake of the pandemic.

Equipping their buildings with devices Powered by ActivePure? Technology allows them to utilize the natural humidity in the buildings to create molecules, in a process referred to as Advanced Photocatalysis, which can reduce both airborne and surface pathogens without increasing the organization’s carbon footprint. This is because ActivePure does not require airflow changes, increased ventilation, or additional HVAC fan power. All of these factors contribute toward energy consumption, raising prices and placing excessive demand on the environment. The installation of ActivePure devices not only benefits employers, but they can provide employees with peace of mind about coming back in person to the office post-COVID.

Both ActivePure and Paramount are dedicated to providing innovative assets that improve the current business standards and practices for the well-being of the organization and its employees. Our Chief Commercial Officer, Amy Carenza , said it best, “As the pandemic becomes endemic, companies should not have to choose between protecting their workers or protecting the environment.” ActivePure provides companies with energy-efficient, customizable solutions that allow them to protect their space without incurring additional energy usage or environmental costs.
