--- title: Airthings for Business | Offices description: Monitoring office indoor air improves productivity, reduces sick leave and lets you optimize your energy usage. --- # The secret to a healthier, happier office Create safe and comfortable workspaces that can increase productivity while reducing costs. CO2 ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray CO2-1](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20CO2-1.png?trttr) Many new buildings are sealed airtight to meet environmental targets and use recycled air to conserve energy. This results in high CO₂ concentrations, which have been directly correlated to low productivity, high sick leave and infectious disease transmission. Airborne chemicals (VOCs) ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray TVOC-1](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20TVOC-1.png?trttr) VOCs cause short-term problems like headaches and inflammation of eyes, nose or throat, as well as contributing to longer-term conditions like cardiovascular disease, asthma, lung cancer, and impact on fertility. Temperature ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray Temp](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20Temp.png?trttr) Regular temperature readings will allow you to find the optimal range for your workers. The wrong temperature can drastically affect the performance and wellbeing of staff as well as waste energy on ventilating areas of low or no occupancy. Pressure ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray Pressure](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20Pressure.png?trttr) It's important to measure atmospheric pressure as a change in conditions can cause headaches, resulting in low productivity and high absenteeism. Humidity ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray Humidity](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20Humidity.png?trttr) The humidity of a room is very important. Dry air can make infectious diseases spread from person to person easier, while more humid conditions can cause mold growth and worsen asthma symptoms. Radon ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/close-(2).png) ![Airthings Sensor Gray Radon-1](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20Radon-1.png?trttr) Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that kills approximately 58 people a day in the US alone. It is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. The gas is emitted naturally through the breakdown of uranium underground and seeps into offices through cracks in the building's foundation. ![Office building](https://www.airthings.com/hs-fs/hubfs/office-banner.jpg?width=1920&height=856&name=office-banner.jpg) # The secret to a healthier, happier office Create safe and comfortable workspaces that can increase productivity while reducing costs. ![Airthings Sensor Gray CO2 white](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%20Sensor%20Gray%20CO2%20white.png) Many new buildings are sealed airtight to meet environmental targets and use recycled air to conserve energy.

Benefitting office tenants, facility managers and building owners alike. ![Productivity](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/Productivity.png) ### Productivity Good air quality can result in a 101% improvement in decision-making abilities. Usually meeting rooms have the worst air quality in an office. ![Health](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/Health.png) ### Health Healthy air lowers the survival rate of viruses and reduces sick leave by 58%. Poor air quality and radon levels can lead to health problems including cancer. ![Environment](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings%202019/Images/Environment.png) ### Energy efficiency You can’t optimize ventilation without air quality data. Monitoring takes the guesswork out of ventilation, so you only use energy when you need to. ## See how facility manager Toma is using Airthings for Business WATCH VIDEO ** Monitor Analyze Customize Optimize Share ## Full visibility into the air quality in all your spaces Get an overview of all rooms, floors and locations. Receive automated alerts should conditions change and air quality deteriorate. ![An Airthings dashboard with stats monitoring IAQ in different rooms](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/monitor-dashboard%20(1).png) ## Current and historical data at your fingertips Observe trends, compare current values with past measurements, and identify incidents that correspond with activities. Through the dashboard or one-click, customizable reports. ![IAQ data for a meeting room with the calendar displayed](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/analyze-dashboard.png) ## View your data the way you like Add and remove tiles to customize your dashboard to your preference. If the account is shared, tailored preferences can also be set per user. Choose your own parameters for notifications, and where you get them. ![A computer window showing how you can customize the Airthings dashboard by adding new tiles](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/customize-dashboard.png) ## Optimize air quality and performance Use occupancy patterns to determine the optimal times for operating your building’s ventilation system, appease indoor climate complaints with live data or confirm when action is needed. ![Data for the occupancy of a room so you can optimize IAQ](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/optimize-dashboard-1.png) ## Easily distribute your data Generate custom radon or indoor air quality reports to share with your business or export data as a CSV file for further analysis. Generate QR codes to display next to devices so office workers can check the air quality themselves. ![A computer window showing how you can generate and share reports on the Airthings dashboard](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/share-dashboard.png) ## What we measure ![co2-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/co2-sensor-atmosphere.svg) CO2 ![temp-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/temp-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Temperature ![humidity-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/humidity-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Humidity ![radon-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/radon-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Radon ![voc-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/voc-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Airborne chemicals (VOCs) ![sensor-icon-occupancy-atmosphere-01](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/virus-risk/sensor-icon-occupancy-atmosphere-01.svg) Occupancy ![pressure-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/pressure-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Pressure ![light-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/light-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Light ![mold-sensor-atmosphere](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/icons/sensors/svg/mold-sensor-atmosphere.svg) Mold risk ![sensor-icon-virusrisk-atmosphere-01](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/virus-risk/sensor-icon-virusrisk-atmosphere-01.svg) Virus risk ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/virus-risk/virus-risk-solutions-dashboard-feature3.png) #### New feature: ## Virus Risk Indicator For buildings where people thrive but viruses don't.
