Creating a comfortable work environment is essential for employee performance and well-being. At AirGreen, we know this better than anyone. While companies are quick to invest in high-performance computer equipment, they often forget that air conditioning plays an equally critical role in productivity in professional environments, especially in offices throughout Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. An efficient, properly installed air conditioning system does more than just cool the air—it directly supports concentration, motivation, and even the health of your team.
Poorly regulated indoor temperature: the invisible barrier to productivity
Numerous studies show that room temperature significantly influences productivity. A difference of just a few degrees can reduce focus, slow task completion, increase errors, and affect overall comfort. In Montréal and surrounding areas, where summers are getting hotter every year, working in a poorly air-conditioned office can be a serious daily challenge.
During a recent HVAC installation at an architecture office in Brossard, on the South Shore, the client mentioned a noticeable drop in performance during heat waves. After conducting a thorough thermal study, we recommended the Fujitsu KZAH R-32 wall-mounted heat pump, an excellent choice for its energy efficiency, quiet operation, and ability to maintain a steady indoor temperature without drafts or overheating.
The psychological impact of temperature at work
Thermal comfort is not just a technical matter—it has a direct psychological impact. Air that is too dry, too warm, or poorly filtered can cause irritability, mental fatigue, and concentration issues. Conversely, a stable temperature of around 22–23 °C creates an atmosphere conducive to collaboration, creativity, and cognitive endurance.
In a notary office located in Laval, we recently replaced an old central system with a Gree Lomo 18,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner. The goal was to reduce temperature fluctuations between different areas of the workspace. After the installation, employees spontaneously reported a clear improvement in their comfort and daily efficiency.
The right air conditioning systems for your office: performance, silence, and savings
When we work in professional buildings, we take multiple parameters into account:
-
The total area to be cooled
-
How many people use the space
-
Internal heat sources (computers, printers, lighting)
-
Architectural specifics (windows, sun exposure, insulation)
We recommend equipment such as:
-
Fujitsu KZAH R-32: ideal for small offices thanks to its excellent performance, quiet operation, and low environmental impact refrigerant.
-
Bosch BIVA IDS Premium R-454b: a high-end solution for larger spaces, offering an excellent balance of energy efficiency and quiet comfort, suitable for both cooling and heating needs.
-
Goodman Air Handler R-32: perfect for upper-floor offices or open-plan layouts, where a centralized system with discreet ducting is preferred.
All of these options ensure stable, efficient, and energy-saving air conditioning.
Real example: a financial services center in Longueuil
In a financial services office with over 40 employees in Longueuil, the existing HVAC system caused frequent temperature spikes in the afternoon, leading to drops in productivity and frequent complaints. Our AirGreen team conducted:
-
A complete thermal load assessment
-
Installation of a Goodman Air Handler 36,000 BTU R-32 central system
-
Integration of a multi-zone smart thermostat
The result: consistent temperature across all office spaces, a 15% productivity increase according to management, and a 22% reduction in energy costs.
