Temperature and well-being in the working environment
How can you work well with excessive humid heat? We all know that the microclimate in the workplace – meaning the air change ratio and the temperature of the working environment -, is an important element for the well-being of people working in industrial sheds or warehouses.
On the other hand, we know just as well that the temperatures in these poorly insulated areas with very high ceilings are particularly difficult to control, both because of the excessive thermal loads caused by both machines and the presence of people, and because of the functional need to remain open and in contact with the outside world.
Does it mean that there is no solution? Do you really have to spend time in a working environment with a humidity/temperature ratio that cannot be controlled, leading to many problems, from sick leave to loss of productivity?
Fortunately not. Art-Eco can design and install cooling systems to maintain the ideal microclimate in a crowded warehouse or industrial shed with thermal pollution issues, so that workers can perform at their best.
Flu-like infections proliferate where the air is dry and stagnant, causing increased sick leave
Workplace microclimate and health
A suitably cooled and welcoming industrial shed is a very important factor for the comfort of workers, also and above all to avoid the spread of pathogens and in particular flu-like infections.
In 2019, well before the Covid-19 pandemic, a Yale University study showed that low humidity in the air is, as the scholars say in their research, “the flu virus’ best friend”. Similarly, among the first recommendations made by the Italian Ministry of Health back in March 2020 to fight the spread of the Coronavirus in indoor environments, was to encourage and implement air change between working environments and the outdoors.
Therefore, installing an Art-Eco cooling system will not only help your staff to work in the best possible microclimatic conditions: by simultaneously ensuring the optimal humidity level, air change and temperature control, it will prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria, improving health conditions.
A benefit not simply limited to this emergency period, when everything must be done to avoid the spread of Covid-19, but which will also prove to be very important in the long term when, with the arrival of the winter season, the spread of the common influenza virus among workers will decrease, leading to a considerable decrease in sick leave.
The experiences with the cooling systems already installed by Art-Eco over the years show that having the temperature in the working environment under control, with natural air change and maintaining optimal humidity levels, has led to a significant decrease in the rate of absenteeism among workers, especially due to illness.

The Art-Eco cooling technology
How can true well-being be achieved in workplaces, even in difficult situations, such as in production departments with machines that produce considerable heat pollution or warehouses with large openings to the outside and very high ceilings?
First of all, it must be said that cooling is a completely different technology from traditional air-conditioning and has considerable advantages over the latter in terms of maintaining health, protecting the environment and saving energy.
A cooling system, provided it is designed and installed properly, as we at Art-Eco have been doing for years, brings fresh air with the right degree of humidity into the working environment, creating the optimal microclimate conditions for living and working.
Art-Eco coolers generate fresh air that, by its very nature, tends to flow downwards and produce its best effects precisely in the area where people are located in the working environment, without wasting energy to condition the air at the top.
In addition to protecting people’s well-being, cooling is environmentally friendly and less energy-consuming
Therefore, evaporative cooling has many advantages: reduced purchase and running costs, significantly lower than with traditional air conditioners, very low electricity consumption, ecological sustainability, safeguard of workers’ health and the guarantee of a constant and healthy exchange of air in the working environment.
Moreover, evaporative cooling is an entirely natural and extremely environmentally friendly technology, as it does not require the use of refrigerant gases or expensive compressors, unlike conventional air conditioners and heat pumps.
With its technology, an Art-Eco cooler can make working in production departments, warehouses and workshops much more pleasant and healthy with a focus on respect for the environmental. Acting today to move towards the Green Economy also means choosing a cooling system for your company, avoiding the pollution produced by refrigerant gases used in normal air conditioners and their excessive energy consumption.
An Art-Eco cooling system guarantees the perfect microclimate for your working environment, saving on running costs and helping the environment. Find out now about the best solutions we can offer to you!
