Work with Your Landlord to Improve Air Quality Within Your Business Building

What a wild ride! It started to look like the worst of the pandemic was behind us and businesses were cautiously reopening responsibly and removing restrictions. Then the Delta variant came and changed everything.

It is time to pivot yet again.

While some businesses have been able to reduce the number of personnel in their building by encouraging employees to work remotely, many businesses still need employees in their facility.

This means your frontline employees are now at an increased risk of infection.

You may have already implemented office designs to help minimize physical contact and safety protocols to better protect employees without impairing work productivity. That is a good start.

However, COVID-19 and all its variants have made it even more important for businesses to pay a lot of attention to their indoor air quality and ventilation. One of the variants, the Delta variant, is much more contagious with a viral level 1000 times greater than the original Alpha variant of COVID-19. This makes it much more contagious as these viral microorganisms can easily make their way through the air in your facility.

But what if you do not own your facility? What if you are dependent upon a landlord for major renovations, including heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and indoor air quality (IAQ)?
