Air Quality & CO2 Load

Carbon dioxide in a full, unventilated meeting room reaches levels that measurably degrade decision-making; scores fall by around 15% near 950 ppm and roughly halve near 1,400 ppm.

An everyday example

Ten executives in a closed boardroom for four hours; by hour three, strategy quality has quietly collapsed and nobody knows why.

What it can cost you

Making the most important decisions of the year in the worst air of the year.

Warning signs

  • The room feels stuffy and everyone has gone quiet.
  • Ideas were sharper in hour one.

One thing to do

Open windows or doors, cap room occupancy, and take the decision after a break outside; if you run the room, buy a CO2 monitor.
