In the current period of coronary crisis, tenants are increasingly reassessing the size of rented office space. In particular, the number of employees who have been left to work from home from day to day is changing the trends in the industry. Companies will therefore be more careful when choosing the size of leased space in the near future, and pressure on the quality of the space will certainly increase. One of the important aspects that have an impact on the quality of the indoor environment is the properly designed and regulated HVAC system in the building. The quantity and quality of air in offices affects the well-being and comfort of the tenants and will therefore be an important criterion when selecting leased space.
What is air handling and where is it used?
The air handling system is a complex system that serves for the treatment and distribution of air in the building premises. It consists of an air handling unit and ductwork that distributes the air in the building. The HVAC system includes air conditioning, which is used to treat the incoming air by filtration, dehumidification/humidification and thermal treatment (heating/cooling). Anecdotally, the term air conditioning is sometimes confused with indoor cooling units (Split, Multisplit , VRV and fan coil). These devices are used to cool the space in summer and heat it to the desired temperature in winter. The units work with, and filter, circulated air.
