Increased Productivity
By using plants to maintain a high standard of air quality, employers can ensure a high level of employee productivity.
Recent studies have shown that interior plants enhance worker productivity by as much as 12 percent. The research by Dr. Rodger S. Ulrich of Texas A&M University found that proper installation of indoor plants can significantly lower workplace stress, decrease fatigue and improve productivity.
Decreased Operating Costs
New research indicates that the adequate installation of plants can deliver a solid return on investment. Proper selection and placement of plants can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 20% with plants having the ability to reduce air temperature through evaporation and transpiration.
In addition to this, living plants provide a healthy and attractive alternative to demountable partitions in the modern open-plan workplace. AHI Jensen are able to ensure that plants can be re-arranged and relocated with minimal disruption to effectively utilise an office space.
Improved Health
With recent research suggesting that unhealthy workplaces could be making up to one-fifth of the workforce sick, AHI Jensen believe that living plants can help to solve this problem. It has been proven through global research that living plants can reduce the physical signs of stress and help return our bodies to normal. Living plants are able to cleanse and revitalise the air we breathe with the leaves, roots and soil bacteria working together to take in airborne pollutants, process them, and then release clean air.
