In Pippbrook the air conditioning system is one that introduces fresh air to the air taken out of the whole office. It is then reintroduced and heated or cooled as required. It has been set to maximum (100%) fresh air. Health and Safety advice is that there is no need to adjust air conditioning systems such as this, that mix some of the extracted air with fresh air and return it to the room as this increases the fresh air ventilation rate. You do need to make sure any air conditioning units you see (just below the ceiling) are switched on.

Other units are being trialled in places where the standard air conditioning does not operate – and you will also see circular units in interview or meeting rooms which are not air conditioners but filters – filtering out the virus.

Please leave meeting room doors open after your meeting.
