Sick Building
Syndrome
The switch from open window to energy
efficient working environments whose modern building methodology and
products has produced the results of a work place that contains known
amounts of cancer causing chemicals. The ability of living plants to
filter the air in the area that we work can help the problems labeled
‘sick building syndrome’. Plants effectively reduce the levels of a
number of noxious gases found in every office building or home.
NASA Study
(Plants actually CLEAN
the air!)
Indoor contaminants from seemingly
benign sources such as furniture, drapes, insulation and carpets can cause
a variety of health complaints. Respiratory irritation, dizziness,
headaches, skin rashes, nausea and vomiting can all occur. The good news
is that an attractive low cost solution does exist. Research conducted by
NASA shows that, because of their air filtering properties, you can
remedy the predicament by placing living green plants throughout the building!
Psychological
Green is the color of Peace and Serenity
In today’s world we are constantly
bombarded with noise, movement and visual complexity. Separately AND
TOGETHER THEY CAN OVERWHELM OUR SENSES. Because of their simplicity plants
reduce physical and mental stress, cause us to relax and improve
our health. Green is the color of peace and serenity. In planted offices,
employees are more content and comfortable, morale is higher and there is
reduced absenteeism. Creativity is enhanced and productivity increased up
by 12%.
Standards of dress improve. Office landscaping therefore can provide
substantial benefits to your business.
Enhancing the
Environment
 People are becoming more and more
aware of their surroundings and the importance of
preserving and improving
our environment. Interior plantscaping improves the personal environment
by
making our rooms, work areas and
buildings more aesthetically pleasing and perceptually stimulating. Plants
provide warmth, color and present living art that offer an inexpensive
interior decorating alternative.
Image
In the 21st century
organizations are increasingly aware of their company’s image, which
includes their building interior and exteriors.
After all this is
the first impression that customers and visitors have of your
organization. Plants not only provide natural, health enhancing benefits,
but also play an important role in projecting a quality image.
Plantscaping is now an integral part of the business plan to meet the
increasingly image conscious business environment.
