Whitepaper: How to create a healthy workplace

Why now is the time to invest in building management technologies

Boosting workplace health is a wise move ethically, practically, and financially. In this whitepaper we will explore some of the ways in which this can be achieved, and the long-term benefits for businesses and their staff.

Priva says its white paper was borne out of a need to address the needs of an emergence of a new generation of architects who favour different materials and a greater reliance on natural light and more effective ventilation. This has prompted deeper thinking about the ways in which workplaces can more closely complement the needs of their occupants.

Download our whitepaper and learn more about:

1. How the health and happiness of people can be increased through managing climate conditions
2. Just how much of your building conditions you’ll actually be able to control and manage
3. The benefits that await you if you use a system that allows you to easily and quickly identify issues

A raft of timely topics are covered including: the value of healthy buildings for employers, landlords and investors; air quality and the impact of CO₂; and the role of building management technologies in delivering workplace wellbeing. An overview of the leading healthy buildings certification schemes – including WELL, RESET and BREEAM is also covered.

Preparing for new challenges

“If you had the ability to travel back in time fifteen years, you would find plenty of evidence that the debate around modern workplaces was beginning to evolve,” says Gavin Holvey, Priva UK & Ireland, General Manager, commenting on the publication of the paper. “Where ideas of functionality had once dominated, questions of form were now being viewed as equally important.”

“New technologies have been a great enabler here: from programmable heating and lighting systems to overall building management platforms, it has become significantly easier to maintain comfortable working conditions. The rise of cloud technologies has also been important as it has allowed systems to be maintained and modified from afar.

“Our white paper is an important document as it addresses all of these points – and more. Never has there been a time for a greater shift in thinking about the ways we can use technology to make workplaces environments which are not only fit for purpose, but are ‘Covid-safe’, comfortable places to work where people can thrive and prosper,” concludes Gavin Holvey.
