Abstract
Three recent independent studies have documented that the quality
of indoor air has a significant and positive influence on the
productivity of office workers. A combined analysis of the results
of the three studies shows a significant relationship between
productivity and perceived indoor air quality. The impact on
productivity justifies a much higher indoor air quality than the
minimum levels prescribed in present standards and guidelines. One
way of providing air of high quality for people to breathe,
without involving excessive ventilation rates and energy use, is
to provide "personalized air" to each individual. The application
of this concept is discussed.
