The retail sector is highly adaptable, rising to the challenge of online competition with creativity and confidence. And by elevating the one thing that sets a retail space apart from its online competitors – the physical experience of shopping – retailers are changing the face of high streets and retail parks up and down the country.
When thinking about how to make a retail space as appealing as possible, Indoor Air Quality (‘IAQ’) should be a key consideration. This is because, by their nature, retail spaces are susceptible to several sources of indoor air pollution. From building contents (including fixtures and fittings and some merchandise) to cleaning materials and delivery vehicles, these sources of pollution can negatively impact customers and employees, affect product quality and have a lasting impact on profitability.
A retail space that’s well-ventilated and free of nasty smells (like those from food outlets) is more appealing and keeps customers in-store longer, increasing their likely spend. Win.
It also means a healthier, happier and more productive workforce. Win.
But what if it could reduce energy costs too?
The clean air challenge: space and cost
The challenge many retail property managers face when it comes to providing high quality indoor air, is that the spaces they work with are often very large, sometimes non-standard and are regularly reconfigured. Traditional HVAC systems not only require significant energy and cost to maintain, they’re also difficult to modify.
Our experience working across premises of all shapes and sizes means our airflow control products and solutions have adaptability built in. They enable retail space managers to improve IAQ and, by ensuring clean air is supplied precisely according to need, can significantly reducing energy consumption and costs too.
