Thermal Comfort

Thermal comfort is a complex and subjective topic that can vary greatly from person to person. It is important to understand that it is virtually impossible to please everyone all of the time with HVAC systems, as people have different tolerances and preferences for temperature and air flow. One common source of discomfort in HVAC systems are air drafts coming from ceiling diffusers. At EffectiV, we recognize the importance of ceiling diffusers and their impact on comfort in commercial spaces such as restaurants and shared office spaces. Our diffusers can help solve issues such as air conditioning drafts, high employee absenteeism, decreased performance and high costs for service calls. Not only will our diffusers improve comfort, they also have the potential to save money and increase profits in the long run. It's important to remember that discomfort, not comfort, is often what incurs the highest costs. Even a small percentage of your employees’ salary gained in productivity can rapidly offset the investment required to upgrade your diffusers.
