| The effect on personal performance ................................. |
|
|
There is a close correlation between a person's performance and the temperature of his immediate surroundings. An environment that is too hot, too cold or too damp will certainly not contribute to higher working efficiency. |
| |
 |
The graph illustrates this correlation. Performance begins to drop at about 22°C whilst above 26°C, it falls dramatically. It is important therefore, to keep temperature under control. Please note that the term 'effective temperature' is assumed to include humidity.
It is scientifically proven that:
|
|
|
Accidents tend to occur more frequently during extreme temperatures - the optimum temperature appears to be about 20°C.
|
| |
|
Mental performance and work rhythm drop off sharply when it is too hot.
|
|
Obviously, the provision of a constant environment is subject to many influences. |
|
For a building to operate comfortably and efficiently, due attention must be paid to its services.
