Every Breath We Take-Transforming the Health of Chinas Office Space
Air pollution in China continues to be a major health risk for people across the country,with millions of premature deaths each year linked to the bad air.Continuous exposure to dangerous levels of PM2.5 - or ambient pollution dangerous to health – has also been proven to lower productivity,as well negatively impact talent attraction and retention,making it harder for companies in China to operate under a slowing economy.With a majority of the PM2.5 outdoors making its way into the office buildings we work at,it is crucial for us to be aware of the fact that we are not safe indoors unless the air inside is properly managed.As China shifts to a service-oriented economy,even greater numbers of people will be working overtime hours in office towers,and thus,the importance of ensuring good air in the workplace will have greater implications ahead.In the first in-depth industry look at how stakeholders in the China office market can improve indoor air quality by strategically incorporating the use of mechanical systems,professional commercial real estate services firm JLL and environmental consultancy PureLiving China present their findings on the subject.The publication also speaks to the level of action needed to be taken by landlords,tenants,and occupiers to create safer workspaces in China.By taking the lead in this area,China has real opportunity to not only address the challenges it faces with air pollution head-on,but also to serve as an example for other industrializing nations to follow – as they,too,struggle to cope with bad air.Finally,while we cannot change conditions outside,we can all do something to control the situation indoors,which also happens to be where we spend most of our time working.
