Focus areas

What the analysis looks at.

A physical work environment is more than one thing. We work with five focus areas, each covering the complaints we hear most often — and the solutions that actually remove the cause.

  • Acoustic panels installed in an open office environment

    Acoustics

    Noise is rarely the first thing people complain about. They say they are tired, that they can't concentrate, or that meetings are draining. We can measure reverberation and noise levels in the room, find out where the sound lingers, and dampen it where it actually makes a difference.

  • Sit-stand desk and ergonomic office chair adjusted to the user

    Ergonomics

    A sore neck, tense shoulders and a lower back that gives out in the afternoon. It is rarely one chair or one desk that is to blame — it is the interplay between working posture, task and layout. We look at how people actually sit and move during the day, and fix what puts the most strain on them.

  • Bright, modern office with workstations, glass walls and green plants

    Indoor climate

    Stuffy air after lunch, headaches in the meeting room and endless debates about whether it is too cold or too hot. Indoor climate is rarely one thing — it is air change, temperature, humidity, dust and odor all at once. We can measure CO₂, temperature and humidity where people sit, and find out what really needs to change.

  • Desk with an ergonomic task lamp and daylight from a window

    Workplace lighting

    Headaches by mid-afternoon, tired eyes at the screen and a room that feels heavy even though it is bright. Good light is not just about being bright enough. It is about direction, color temperature, glare and daylight. We can measure the light level where the work is done and find out whether the lighting works with your employees or against them.

    Wellbeing

    The body cannot hold the same position for eight hours, no matter how good the chair is. Wellbeing is about what happens between tasks: breaks that actually help you recover, a place to unwind and the chance to move. Preventing tension costs less than treating it.

CO₂

An important indicator.

CO₂ is one of the most widely used measurements when the indoor climate is assessed in offices and classrooms. It can tell you something about how much fresh air is supplied relative to the number of people in the room.

It does not necessarily tell you anything about the level of particles, VOCs, formaldehyde, ozone, NO₂ or other air pollutants. That is why it can make sense to combine the CO₂ measurement with measuring or assessing other parameters — depending on the specific challenge.
