Sick building syndrome: When the office makes you sick

Sick-Building-Syndrom: Wenn das Büro krank macht

Does this sound familiar? You've barely been at your desk for two hours when your eyes start burning, your head is pounding, and your concentration vanishes for the lunch break – without you. If these symptoms disappear as if by magic as soon as you leave the building, you're probably suffering from Sick Building Syndrome .

In a time when we spend almost 90% of our lives indoors, a healthy working environment is not a luxury, but a necessity for your team's performance.

What exactly is the Sick Building Syndrome?

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) describes a group of symptoms directly related to being in a particular building. The insidious thing is that there is often no single, obvious cause such as a burst water pipe or mold infestation. Instead, it is usually a mix of various factors that severely impair indoor air quality and well-being.

Sick Building Syndrome Causes: Why the air in the office is "stuffy"

Finding the triggers is often like detective work. When we take a closer look at the causes of sick building syndrome , three main suspects usually emerge:

  1. Inadequate ventilation: Modern, energy-efficiently renovated buildings are often so airtight that hardly any fresh air gets in without mechanical ventilation. Pollutants accumulate.

  2. Chemical emissions: Off-gassing from carpets, adhesives, printers or new office furniture (VOCs – volatile organic compounds) puts a strain on the respiratory system.

  3. Fine dust and hygiene deficiencies: Dust is not only unsightly, it also carries bacteria and allergens. If cleaning is not thorough enough, dust is stirred up with every step.

The solution: Clean air through smart technology

To combat sick building syndrome , companies need to adjust several factors. In addition to regular ventilation and the use of air-purifying plants, floor hygiene plays a crucial role.

The Nexaro NR 1700 as your ally for a healthy office

One of the most effective methods to sustainably reduce dust pollution (a key cause of sick building syndrome) is continuous and precise cleaning. Specially developed Robotic vacuum cleaners for offices Our Nexaro NR 1700 addresses this issue directly. While conventional cleaning methods often stir up dust or neglect corners, the Nexaro NR 1700 works with an efficiency you can feel:

  • Certified filter performance: Thanks to high-quality filter systems, fine dust is bound where it belongs – in the dirt container, not in the lungs of your employees.

  • Consistency is key: The robot cleans according to schedule, even at night or during off-peak hours. This means that when your team enters the office in the morning, the particle concentration in the air is already reduced to a minimum.

  • Relief for cleaning staff: Automating floor cleaning leaves more time for disinfecting surfaces – another important point in SBS prevention.

Tip: Combine the use of the Nexaro NR 1700 with a modern Fleet management, in order to have full transparency about the cleaning performance in your premises at all times.
