SMART BUILDINGS CAN OPTIMIZE WELLNESS

摘要

Despite spending most of our week working, currently only 9.8% of world employees are covered by a workplace wellness program. We know there is a performance gap in the workplace. Employees want wellness initiatives built into their employee experience, especially when they're working in spaces that can leave them feeling stiff, stressed, and sick. Our home environment also works against us with the constant distractions and connectedness to our always-on world. The good news: tech companies are creating innovative solutions to mitigate these problems and offer a more customized environment. Here are some examples: • Habitat management. In an effort to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency, Edge Technologies designed a smart building in Amsterdam that is responsive and automated. Sensors are installed to bridge sustainable goals and wellness of end-users by allowing them to control their climate. Sensors intuitively measure and optimize the workspace, measuring noise levels, light, and air quality.
