Optimal air humidity in production facilities.
If one enthuses about a "good climate" in the company, this usually describes the mood and the human contact of the employees with each other. But the appreciation that a company shows its employees also makes a decisive contribution to a "good climate". In addition to the ethical obligation, it is therefore also an economic decision to protect the health of the employees in the best possible way and thus promote their productivity and general well-being. After all, employees make a decisive contribution to the success of a company with their know-how and commitment.
Scientific findings show that the indoor climate has a major influence on the health, well-being and performance of employees. The comfort zone of a person lies between 40 and 60 % in relation to the relative humidity (RH). Between these two values, people feel comfortable, perform well and stay healthy.
Optimal working conditions for the mucous membranes in nose and mouth. These protect the employees against the penetration of particles, bacteria and viruses into their airways.
The transmission rate of viruses via the air is reduced because virus particles form larger droplets at a humidity level of 40-60 % and thus sink to the ground faster.
The survival time of viruses on surfaces is reduced at an air humidity of 40-60 %. Viruses with a fat cover (e.g. corona viruses) are most unstable under these conditions.
The skin's state of hydration is in the optimal range at an air humidity of 40-60 %. Complaints such as itching and skin irritation among employees are reduced.
At an air humidity of 40-60 %, significantly less moisture evaporates via the eyes. This means that the eyes of employees are better protected against dehydration.
A humidity level of 40-60 % leads to fewer stress symptoms and improves the conditions for physical activities of employees.
Employees who feel comfortable and enjoy good health thanks to healthy indoor air have been proven to have less signs of fatigue and are more productive. Performance increases with a healthy workplace with controlled indoor air.
The advantages for your company:
With heating in autumn/winter, the relative humidity decreases.
Keeping the humidity stable in our comfort zone at 40-60 % is not always easy and can only be reliably guaranteed by controlled humidification of the indoor air. Especially in autumn and winter, we quickly leave the optimal range between 40 and 60 % relative humidity due to the regular and necessary exchange of the heated indoor air with colder outside air. This is because cold air can physically absorb less moisture than warmer air. If this outside air now enters a warm room and warms up from, for example, 0 °C to 22 °C, the relative humidity (RH) of this heated air cannot exceed approx. 20 % in the end. This means that in winter, the supply of fresh air inevitably leads to a reduction in the humidity of the indoor air and to leaving the comfort zone of 40-60 %.
For this reason, the German Building Climate Association (FGK) recommends that planners, architects and operators of buildings supplement air conditioning systems with professional air humidification systems to control the humidity and ensure a healthy indoor climate.
