Air Quality Insights: The Latest Addition to Joan Analytics

Three o'clock hits and half your team looks glazed over. Meeting rooms feel stuffy by noon. People complain about headaches, blame the lighting, grab another coffee, and push through.

Nobody mentions the air.

You cannot see it. You cannot smell it. And unless you walk around with a CO2 meter, you have no idea your office air quality silently destroys productivity and makes people sick.

 

The invisible tax on your team

Bad air costs more than you think.

A year-long Harvard study tracked office workers across six countries and found something important. When air quality dropped to levels common in normal offices, people got slower and made more mistakes on simple tasks.

Poor indoor air quality affects health and productivity more than most companies realize. It leads to respiratory issues, fatigue, and sick days. Indoor air is often two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Your team breathes it for eight hours every day.

The effects show up in small ways. Brain fog in the afternoon. Headaches that seem to come from nowhere. That stuffy feeling in conference rooms. High humidity makes spaces uncomfortable. Low humidity dries out airways and makes people more vulnerable to getting sick.

Most offices have no idea this is happening.

Your Joan devices have been tracking it all along

Now for the good part. If you have a Joan display, you have been measuring air quality this entire time without knowing it.

Joan displays have built-in environmental sensors. Every display managing your meeting rooms also quietly monitors temperature, humidity, and air quality while handling its primary job.

You don't need to purchase new equipment or install anything extra. The data has been there, waiting for you to tap into it.

Introducing Air Quality Analytics

Joan Analytics now includes air quality reporting across your workplace. Track average temperature and humidity levels collected from Joan displays throughout your office.

What you get:

  • Average temperature and humidity across all your spaces
  • Trends over time to identify patterns and recurring issues
  • Historical data for any time period you need

What you actually do with this information

Air quality problems sound expensive to fix. They usually are not.

Most issues come down to ventilation timing and HVAC settings. Your building systems already have the capability to improve air quality. You just need to know when and where to adjust them.

With admin access to Air Quality Analytics, you can quickly identify when your office environment needs attention — and take action before small issues affect comfort or productivity.

The data tells you everything you need:

  • When your office environment needs attention
  • Whether temperature and humidity stay within comfortable ranges
  • If seasonal changes are affecting your workspace
  • How your adjustments impact conditions over time

Workplace experience runs deeper than free snacks

Employee wellbeing starts with the basics. The physical environment shapes how people feel at work every single day. Temperature affects comfort, humidity impacts health, and air quality determines whether people think clearly or spend the afternoon in a fog. These aren't perks you can see, but your team feels them constantly.

Air quality analytics is available now in Joan Portal. If you have Joan displays installed, you'll find it in your analytics dashboard.

Maybe you’ll find that conditions are already ideal. Maybe you'll spot patterns that explain why people complain about being too warm or why certain times feel uncomfortable. Either way, you'll have data instead of guesswork.

Log in to MyJoan Portal and check your air quality dashboard.
