Ventilation and air quality solutions for offices

Office spaces need to be well ventilated in order to keep teams focused on producing the best results. However, office building developments and retrofits come with unique requirements. Effective ventilation not only enhances employee productivity but also safeguards the structural integrity of the building itself.

Office ventilation case studies

Airflow’s solutions have been incorporated across a wide variety of commercial settings, including offices and workspaces. With systems to improve air quality, detect pollutants and reduce energy consumption, our solutions continue to improve air quality in multiple business settings.

M&E ventilation considerations for office developments

When planning ventilation for office developments, it's essential to choose solutions that effectively address key challenges. With polluted workplace air directly impacting the UK economy year-on-year, effective ventilation can help businesses prioritise workplace health and productivity. In order to do this, systems must be easy to install and access, while also aligning with regulatory requirements specific to office buildings and workspaces. Energy efficiency is equally important, helping businesses to meet sustainability targets and reduce operational costs. Well-designed ventilation helps to maintain a healthy building environment, ultimately supporting the longevity of a development or retrofit.
