The Secret to Higher Productivity is in the Air You Breathe!

Written and edited by Artyculate India

You are at your desk at home. You have your coffee ready, along with your list of to-dos and a good dose of willpower to get you checking off your list. But something doesn’t feel right. Is it too chilly? Too dry? Or just too stuffy? The sun is not as harsh outside, and the room seems to be at your preferred temperature, although that doesn’t seem to help either. Minutes pass as you try to kickstart your productivity—but nothing seems to work.

Let us help clear the air

We spend around 80% of our time indoors—cooking, reading, working, watching something, being with our loved ones, sleeping and doing a lot more. The various activities we do release carbon dioxide, leading to an increase of unpleasant scents and smells, and also emit heat and water vapour into the indoor air. All this has a negative impact on your home climate. Unfortunately, simply opening windows for fresh air isn’t a viable solution in the present times. Outdoor air brings in pollutants, and open windows can also lead to energy loss from indoor heating or cooling systems in your home.

Your immediate environment can reduce your performance by up to 50%, potentially impacting your mood and health over time. The climate of your room—more than just the temperature—affects your well-being in ways you may not realise.

At Stiebel Eltron, we understand how personal well-being affects performance and productivity. Our goal is to help you find the optimal ventilation solution for your living spaces. Let's start by understanding the key elements that make up a room’s climate.

There’s more to the room than the décor to make you feel comfortable

Room temperature:

A comfortable room temperature should typically be between 19°C and 23°C.

Humidity:

The indoor humidity should lie between 40%–50%.

Air movement:

The ideal speed of indoor air movement should be between 0.1 and 0.15 m/s.

Air purity:

The CO2 level in the air should be the lowest possible.

These factors can seem daunting to manage individually—but that’s where we come in with our advanced ventilation systems.

Let’s advance with the benefits of an advanced ventilation system

Our ventilation systems ensure that you breathe easily at home, and as a result, perform at your most optimal level. With a ventilation system installed in your living space, you will not only see an improvement in the indoor air, but also in your quality of life as well as your mood and productivity. Here are some of the merits of a ventilation system:

? Improved indoor air quality

? Reduction of harmful emissions

? Enhanced comfort, especially for allergy sufferers

? Retention of heating energy typically lost through open windows

? Energy efficient ventilation through heat recovery

? Building fabric protection and fungal mould prevention

Open the door to clean air with Stiebel Eltron Ventilation Systems

Our ventilation systems channel stale air, unpleasant odours and water vapour to the outside and at the same time, supply fresh clean air indoors. So that you and your family always breathe easy.

Decentralised Ventilation Systems

Decentralised systems are perfect for retrofitting in a modernisation project. Easy to install, they have fully automatic operation to give you the best indoor climate. They extract the heat from the extract air and feed it back in with the fresh air. The extractors are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, where humidity levels are high compared to the other areas of the house.

Central Ventilation Systems

Central systems are most ideal for new build and comprehensive modernisation projects, wherein a single unit ventilates all your rooms, providing a consistent and comfortable level of fresh air throughout your home. This system requires ventilation ducts that are let into walls, concrete ceilings, suspended ceilings, the floor, placed under a screed layer, or even kept visible.

Central ventilation systems are available as extract air systems and as supply/extract air systems. In an extract air system, stale air is extracted from extract air areas such as the kitchen and bathroom via ductwork, and simultaneously, clean air is drawn via outdoor air apertures into supply air areas like the living room and bedrooms. In a supply/extract air system, the outdoor air is drawn from a central point, filtered, and distributed by means of ductwork throughout the supply air areas.

Why Say Yes to Ventilation Systems

For eons, we’ve heard the saying – take a walk in fresh air to feel better. The current times may not offer the same benefit when outdoors, fresh, clean air remains essential for well-being. Breathing stale air on the regular can affect your health, leading to lethargy and sluggishness. So, if you find yourself in a low, unproductive mood, don’t just open a window—let us bring a breath of fresh air into your home.

We spend more than 80 percent of our times indoors. How we feel here is down to the room climate. Good air not only evokes coziness, but also keeps us healthy and productive.
