Proven conditions for comfort and productivity
Daily space usage fluctuations impose many challenges for indoor climate quality and employee comfort. With Demand Based Indoors, indoor climate characteristics are kept at the desired level by matching system performance with the occupancy and heat loads. Individual room control increases the number of satisfied users.

Indoor climate quality and user satisfaction have a direct link with productivity. As about 90% of the annual costs of a typical company operating in office environment are related to the personnel working there, even a modest 1% (on average, five minutes a day) drop in office work productivity is economically significant. An unsatisfactory indoor climate and the consequent decreasing trend in productivity easily outweigh the life-cycle costs when one compares a CAV system with minimum air flows and the Demand Based Indoors concept.

 
Profitable real estate investment and economical life cycle
Economical life cycle costs are a result of multiple factors acting in the same direction: reduced running and energy costs in all usage situations, a simplified maintenance model and in-built flexibility for layout and usage changes.

The Demand Based indoors concept is competitive in terms of both energy and life cycle costs. An example life cycle cost study compares this with other typical systems, for a building with a total area of 10.000 m2 and housing 500 personnel. The space consists of 60% office areas, 10% meeting rooms and 30% other areas.

Life cycle performance is further improved by designing flexible systems that allow implementation of layout and space usage changes with ease.
