A work-from-home approach has become a reality over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that many of us stay home most of the day. No one knows for sure when this trend will last, but it’s definitely staying around for some time. Regardless of whether you’re working in the office or at home, an important factor is to make sure that the environment you’re working in is conducive. This can make or break your productivity and influence your work. It’s not just buying that ergonomic office chair and table or setting up multiple large computer screens - the humidity level, temperature and indoor air quality should play a part as well. In this article, we’ll talk about the best air conditioner temperature to help boost your productivity as you work from home! How Temperature Affects Productivity There’s no denying that Singapore is hot all-year-round and that being out in the sun under the mercy of the heat is torturous for many. All of us have the preferred temperature that we like to operate in, though most of us would choose a cool temperature over its warm counterpart. The right temperature goes beyond just comfort, affecting your health, mood and performance as well. It can either make you feel tired and sluggish or bright and raring to go. Certain temperatures are also not recommended for performing certain activities, while some suit others better. For example, a slightly warmer temperature may improve productivity, while a hot temperature may reduce it. Temperatures that are too cold will also reduce productivity. Complicated decisions and solving mathematical-related problems are typically difficult to do when it’s too warm as well. Maintaining an Ideal Temperature for WFH It’s impossible to find an ideal temperature for all the employees at the workplace, but when you’re working from home and you’re the only one in the room, it means that you now have complete access to the temperature you want. As a rule of thumb, productivity is best between 21 to 22 degrees celsius. Research also shows that a temperature of 25 degrees reduces error rates while boosting productivity. Below that, the mistakes increased and productivity dropped by half. Knowing it is insufficient - you need to understand how to reach and maintain this ideal temperature. This is where a smart aircon and smart aircon system come in. They can help to maintain your desired temperature using smart temperature triggers, modes and settings. Humidity and Indoor Air Quality A smart air conditioner offers many amazing benefits, and it’s up to you to make full use of them! For example, you can use the dry mode to maintain the humidity level in the room. Some smart air conditioners can measure the level of humidity as well. We tend to have high humidity levels because of our climate, so these tools can be very helpful. You can also use your air conditioner’s powerful filters to improve the indoor air quality of the room. After all, who enjoys sneezing and feeling terrible because of bad air quality, especially when you’re going to be cooped up indoors for most of the day?
