Air quality matters
As cities expand across the planet, the air quality, inside and outside our buildings, is becoming a critical human and political issue. Breathing poor quality air in the work environment caused by poorly designed mechanical systems, ineffective filtration or inadequate ventilation has a detrimental effect on human productivity, wellbeing and overall health.
Introducing CBRE Breathe
CBRE Breathe empowers everyone involved in developing, occupying or leasing buildings to analyze indoor air quality, and use this insight to promote the productivity, health and well being of occupiers.
Using sophisticated digital technology, coupled with our extensive experience of M&E building ventilation systems, we interrogate your designs to collect and analyze critical data about your building.
CBRE Breathe uses this information to develop and help you implement practical strategies to create the most productive and healthy workplaces, and the most attractive buildings for investors and occupiers.
