PAZ High Back Upholstered Sofa

Over the past 15 years, a major focus has been placed on improving lighting and acoustics in offices, while air quality has been neglected and gradually deteriorated.

Society places great demands on food and water quality, but little attention is paid to air quality or how employees are affected by poor levels of air quality. As concern grows for the health of the nation and increasing awareness of improving our well-being and health continue, we should take air quality factors into account. We are, after all, breathing air every day and night.

According to The National Board of Health and Welfare, about one million people in Sweden (nearly 11% of the population) is negatively affected by indoor air quality in their home, work, and school spaces. Often the indoor air can be up to 50 times more polluted than outdoor air. You may well have experienced working in a stuffy office or an office with a poor air conditioning system and experienced discomfort as a result, such as headaches, dizziness, muscle weakness, and nausea. These factors will be detrimental to your overall wellbeing and as a result be detrimental to your productivity and working day. The main problem with air filtration systems is that they are designed to filter all the air in the room so are often large, noisy and can be expensive to run and maintain.

The advantage of products that incorporate PAZ Pure Air Zone technology is that they are quieter, more energy efficient and can be controlled by each user allowing control over their own preferred air supply. PAZ combines sound absorption and air filtration in a patented design and is produced to improve air quality and noise levels in the workplace and office resulting in a more efficient working environment and better health conditions.
