Los edificios de oficinas ecológicos representan menos días de enfermedad

por Kelly Leahy, escrito en Greendaily.com

Una compañera de trabajo solía quejarse de que las luces y el aire en nuestras oficinas en un edificio demasiado alto la enfermaron. Yo siempre creí que el ambiente de trabajo hacía más estragos en la gente que el edificio en si. Resulta, sin embargo que si se piensa un poco más seriamente en un edificio ecológico podrían disminuír los días de enfermedad en los empleados.

The coal stoves are still used for cooking by Beijing's poorer residents and contribute to heavy pollution in China's capital. Beijing will host Games of the XXIX Olympiad from August 8 to 24, 2008.

Es comprensible, el mayor perpetrador de las enfermedades del trabajador (además de la pereza para no querer levantarse de la cama) es el aire reciclado, Si una persona está enferma todos esos gérmenes viajarán por toda la oficina. Incrementando la ventilación, mejorando la filtración del aire y usando luz ultravioleta para desinfectar el aire el frío común puede disminuír en un 20%. Independientemente de la ciencia, estoy seguro de que un poco más de luz natural o comida saludable en la cafetería no lastimaría a nadie.

Aunque desafortunadamente no hay nada que un edificio ecológico pueda hacer en esos días en los que sencillamente sería más agradable estar afuera que en una oficina saturada de actividades todo el día.
