During the summer months as the temperature rises and we experience short bursts of UK heat waves, too much heat can make us feel lethargic, cause heat cramps and place extra strain on the heart and lungs. For this reason, ensuring a constant flow of air throughout a work or education setting is important to reduce general tiredness and lack of concentration. For older people who may be residents in a care home or sheltered housing, managing the temperature and comfort of the environment can prove to prevent health problems from arising.
Allowing fresh air, to flow throughout your space has many health benefits. Including:
- It can help to improve blood pressure and your heart rate
- Bringing fresh air in will also allow germs and bacteria to flow out of the space, making cleaner air
- It increases serotonin (the happy hormone) and it can help to strengthen your immune system.
- Fresh air will improve concentration
If you’re responsible for managing shared spaces such as schools and offices, all of these factors are critical to the wellbeing of your tenants. Temperature is, in fact, massively important to productivity. Working conditions too hot have been shown to have a significantly adverse effect on concentration and work performance.
By considering manual or electronic window actuators, your residents can enjoy fresh air in a temperature-controlled environment. As a landlord, electronic actuators can be controlled on a timer or sensor, meaning that you can ensure a natural air flow and comfortable temperature at all times. The team at Window Control Systems can speak to you about the cost to install actuators, or we can perform an audit on your existing system to ensure that the window opener systems are working effectively.
