Climate Control Hire and SalesHave A Good Working Climate - Feel Good and Work Well Working and store environments which are uncomfortable are no longer the norm. Most people today are lucky enough to enjoy central heating in their home and have experienced the comfort of air conditioning whilst they are travelling in their cars or shopping, and consequently, expectations within their place of work have been raised. More notably, there is now reasonable evidence available, which supports the question of managing the temperature in the workplace. Recent study has shown that concentration is reduced and with the consequent knock on effect on productivity where a workplace is either too cold or too hot. Workers can feel tired, become irritable, which may cause lack of concentration leading to increased risk of accident. From an individual point of view, as a customer, we are unlikely to return to or spend time in establishments that make us feel uncomfortable. An acceptable temperature in the Workplace
