Latin America. As a consequence of the panorama we are currently experiencing, many of us wonder what the new normal we will face will be like. It is a fact that as long as we do not have a vaccine, a treatment or a cure, we will have to learn to live with new preventive dynamics, especially in work environments.
While many may choose to work online from home, others don't have that alternative. Therefore, various sectors will have to make changes in order to adapt to these new conditions.
To accelerate the return to work safely, real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield has unveiled an initiative to adapt workspaces, incorporating a new concept called "The Two-Meter Office." It consists of redesigning the space of companies and offices so that staff respect the rules of social distancing while working. Some of the six rules that apply to meet this goal are workspace equipment and detailed scanning of the environment to find physical improvements.
The goal is to ensure a healthy environment that benefits staff by providing them with a safe work environment. While it is necessary to implement "The office of two meters" to prevent infections, it will also serve to combat the so-called sick building syndrome (SEE), which is nothing more than a set of diseases caused by environmental pollution that is concentrated within enclosed spaces. One of the rules that most contributes to solving this problem is precisely the equipment of the workspace with technological adaptations for the disinfection of areas and purification of environments.
How many buildings harbor diseases and viruses without their occupants suspecting what they are exposing themselves to? That's why GE Current, a Daintree company, offers several solutions to this problem, including the new LBU Series–DISINFECTION luminaires line, equipped with 365DisInFx™ disinfection lighting technology.
Its LED and UVA light emissions eliminate bacteria in areas where conventional light is needed due to the presence of people. Its use is not limited to hospitals and the health sector, as it has been designed to also benefit restaurants, offices and industries, where cleaning measures do not always eliminate all bacteria from surfaces.
