Air conditioning in Reading has made a difference to countless office buildings.
If you manage a business with its own office, or you rent commercial space to businesses, you’ll know how much heat office equipment can generate. This heat can create an uncomfortable environment for staff, reducing productivity and lowering morale.
In this blog, we look at how installing air conditioning in your office space can help you manage the heat emitted by computers and other office equipment.
Do computers make a room hotter?
Yes. While the convenience of working on computers has transformed workplaces over the last forty years, the fact that they produce heat is undeniable. Depending on the age and power of your computer, it might even give off as much heat as a single bar heater at home!
Computers are not the only appliance contributing to the temperature of your office. Also making their contribution are monitors, printers, scanners, projectors and even mobile phones.
While this might not be a problem in the winter, it will start to make the office uncomfortably hot as soon as the outside temperatures start to rise. This can be bad news – it can lower your team’s productivity, and leave everyone feeling hot and grumpy.
How do I stop computers from making the office hot?
There are a few ways to manage the amount of heat your computers and other appliances are giving out.
Firstly, turn off what you’re not using! With more of us working from home, many businesses now offer hybrid working. This can mean that offices are less busy than they used to be, creating an opportunity to reduce the number of appliances. It also means the space can be more flexible – perhaps your team could sit further apart to improve air flow. Alternatively, arranging them so they sit closer together would mean they could share one printer while you turn the others off. This would reduce the number of appliances in the office, and help business owners and landlords save energy too.
Another solution is to install air conditioning. An air-to-air heat pump will remove heat from the air and create a more comfortable, productive environment for your team.
