Green office increases work efficiency

We often spend 8 hours or more in the office, even more time than at home. And a friendly, pleasant office with lots of greenery is always the dream of office workers.

Khanh Linh is an office worker at Capital House Group, but her day usually starts a little differently. The first thing she does when she gets to work is not to turn on her computer, but to step into the simply but solemnly designed meditation room at the end of the hallway.

Linh spends the first 30 minutes of her day in this room with the relaxing scent of incense. She always starts her workday with the mindset of someone who has just thrown away all worries, her body is completely relaxed and ready with energy for a new day.

Linh's office is located on the 12th floor of the EcoLife Capitol building, a project that has achieved the EDGE Green Building Certification of the very Group she works for. Perhaps, this is a rare office that has a meditation room for employees to start a new day in such a special way. And more than that, the relaxation of Linh and her colleagues also comes from many "green" factors that other office workers are "jealous of".

Anyone who enters this office for the first time must be amazed by the green plants covering the walls and windows. These are the walls of evergreens, bamboos, etc. that are always lush thanks to daily scientific care by the automatic drip irrigation system installed synchronously throughout the building. More delicately, right next to the windows are potted plants that can rotate in the direction of the sun to reduce the light intensity of the room during peak hours.

In addition, the office's glass system is also equipped with environmentally friendly materials with air insulation, which can reduce the room temperature by 3-4 degrees compared to normal. Therefore, the office never has to turn on the air conditioner below 26 degrees Celsius, even on record hot days.

Many office workers often feel lethargic when sitting in an air-conditioned room with a lack of oxygen for 8-12 hours a day, but not the employees at Capital House Group. Oxygen is always fully supplied from the green tree system; the source of steam is supplemented from the leaves and the watering system under the tree wall, so employees do not feel dry skin or discomfort when staying in the room for a long time.

Sharing about a “Green culture”, the leader of Capital House Group said that here, people always talk to each other gently. It is from the cool green space or the meditation room… that helps people reduce stress at work and become more friendly.

More subtly, the group also equipped a phone booth right next to the pedestrian bridge so that people can talk without causing disorder or affecting the common working atmosphere... This office is a dream model for office workers.
