Embrace a Healthier, More Productive, and Sustainable Facility
Air distribution is an essential part of your facility’s infrastructure. It’s also required by code. However, HVAC offers more than what’s required for the successful operation of your building.
Air distribution systems and products add value through:
- Risk mitigation.
- Well-researched health benefits.
- Energy efficiency.
- Brand enhancement.
These lesser-known benefits have become more relevant in a business environment where facilities aim to streamline expenses, while consistently reporting growth and offering better experiences for visitors and employees.
Air Distribution’s Risk-Management Return on Investment
The return on investment (ROI) for your air distribution products and systems is easy to quantify. Your investment in HVAC prevents significant financial losses.
- The cost of infection: Installing products like ceiling diffusers is an investment in front-line infection prevention. In the healthcare industry, hospital-acquired infections cost U.S. facilities billions of dollars each year.
- Deferred maintenance: Putting off maintenance on aging components leads to emergency repairs, while potentially exacerbating issues throughout the entire system.
When you invest in air distribution, you’re not just checking off the boxes for necessary HVAC infrastructure. You’re also investing in a strategy to remain prudent about your expenditures by avoiding tangible risks.
The Growing Body of Research on Air Distribution’s Health Benefits
Ceiling systems that filter and distribute air into your commercial facility provide more than just ventilation. Your HVAC equipment delivers high-quality air. Indoor air quality (IAQ), which is largely defined by the amount of contaminants and pollutants in the air we breathe, has been shown to provide:
- Improved cognitive function.
- Better mental health.
- Increased productivity.
An investment in fan filter units (FFUs), ceiling diffusers, and other air distribution products benefits the lives and performance of those who enter your facility, especially the teams who spend their workdays there.
Your commitment to IAQ demonstrates your dedication to your facility’s employees. The modern worker is looking for more than just a salary. Your prospective employees want to know you have their best interests in mind and that you’ve created a safe environment. Adopting IAQ standards plays a role in how you protect and care for your facility’s team.
Air Distribution and Sustainability Are a Match
Energy efficiency and sustainability are important considerations for your facility. Your concern for these priorities can save you money on energy use, open doors to tax credits and certifications like Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and attract stakeholders who value your commitment.
Air distribution systems and products include options that directly align with your energy efficiency and sustainability efforts:
- Fan filter units: Effectively engineered FFUs offer high-performance specifications without significant energy expenditure.
- Structural ceiling systems: Today’s systems offer energy-efficient lighting options as an added benefit beyond targeted air distribution.
Your air distribution systems provide opportunities to use energy more efficiently, work toward sustainability goals, and leverage these outcomes for their social value.
How Air Distribution Products Market Your Facility
Although HVAC is infrastructure, air distribution products like return grilles, supply grilles, and diffusers are visible to those who visit. Your HVAC is a part of your facility’s design, and the choices you make for these components should reflect your brand.
Air distribution specialists provide options for your HVAC infrastructure to match color schemes and preferred geometries. These experts also partner with design-build teams for air distribution placement that complements design concepts.
The visual appeal of your commercial HVAC impacts your business’s perception. In an economic environment where choices are abundant, how you present yourself is critical.
Start Practical, but Benefit From the Unexpected
Your facility is committed to selecting ceiling diffusers and other air distribution systems and products for the most practical reasons of all: code requirements and comfort for visitors. This approach will always come first when investing in HVAC.
However, the additional value of air distribution products makes just as much sense once you’ve understood their importance. What we now consider secondary benefits will soon become practical measures as the importance of sustainability, wellness, and thoughtful design spreads to a wider range of industries, including yours.
You don’t have to wait for everyone else. Your facility can adopt air distribution products as a strategic differentiator and begin reaping air distribution’s complete set of benefits.
