It may sound small, but if we look at the figure from the opposite side, a 5 percent increase in efficiency should mean e.g.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 fewer sick days in a working year<\/li>\n<li>Effective working time is increased by 25 minutes every day.<\/li>\n<li>Less need for rest periods among employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Poor or inadequate ventilation can cause health problems such as fatigue, headaches, reduced concentration, increased irritation of mucous membranes and increased frequency of respiratory infections. Furthermore, the air we are in affects both concentration, performance, and productivity. People with asthma and allergic diseases will be most at risk, but even people without these problems will be able to suffer health problems from insufficient or low ventilation.<br \/>\nA balanced ventilation system is a ventilation system that replaces old air with new, fresh air. In rooms where people stay longer over time, especially cell offices and open landscapes, it is important that the air is changed often enough. A ventilation system will be able to ensure the necessary flow of fresh air, while ensuring that the air is fully heated. Between 70 and 90 percent of the heat from the old air is transferred to new air, which is distributed evenly and fully heated around the building. That way, you don&#8217;t have to use energy to heat the new air, as you often have to with drafts from open windows and doors. It is therefore economical in terms of electricity costs, but most importantly it has positive side effects for the working environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body
