The coronavirus has brought us all back to earth. The social and economic impact of the health crisis is enormous.<\/p>\r\n

It is a wake-up call: we humans are vulnerable to viruses and will remain so in the coming period. Because covid-19 is not gone yet and it will certainly not be the last dangerous virus to raise its head. In this blog you will learn what the conditions are for a healthy workplace and how you can easily create this.<\/p>\r\n

Ensure that the workplace complies with all guidelines<\/h3>\r\n

Although working from home is increasingly the norm, we will certainly continue to go to the office. After all, we are social beings who need to work together and look each other in the eye. A requirement is that the office is a healthy working environment. The call from employees for a safe and healthy workplace is therefore increasing. This call is also supported by guidelines from recognized bodies such as the\u00a0Working conditions service<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/a>the RIVM and the GGD.<\/p>\r\n

As an employer, building owner or landlord you will have to monitor this. Saying that your building meets all guidelines and requirements is no longer enough. You must also be able to actually demonstrate it. A building can be made 'smart' very easily so that you can demonstrate with reliable data that the building is safe and healthy. Measuring is knowing. The good news? This does not even have to be expensive. Making a building smart can be done for a fixed amount per month.<\/p>\r\n

HEALTHY AIR IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BASIC CONDITION<\/h3>\r\n

Our experience as a Smart Building specialist shows that there are a number of basic conditions for employees to function well in the office. The most important condition is healthy air.<\/p>\r\n

The amount of CO2 in a room gives an indication of how (un)healthy the air is. Healthy air is created by good ventilation and is easy to measure with CO2 sensors. The CO2 content is measured in PPM, Parts per Million.\u00a0The GGD guideline<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for a healthy climate in the Netherlands is 800 PPM. In Belgium this is 900 PPM according to the WTCB and the High Health Council. Good ventilation is therefore crucial for healthy air. If this does not happen, the CO2 level increases and this can lead to all kinds of physical complaints among employees, such as:<\/p>\r\n
