Temperature at work has an effect on productivity. Exposure to heat or cold puts the body under strain and it is proven that this causes employee performance to deteriorate. However while women are frequently freezing cold, men often feel too hot – which makes it difficult to find a compromise, especially in open space offices. Thanks to the Klöber Klimastuhl®, you can set the optimum working temperature for own personal comfort.
Applications
The Dutch government tests the Klimastuhl by Klöber
The Dutch Central Government Real Estate Agency is investing in sustainable innovations to achieve the energy-neutral office. A test environment has been set up in Rijswijk for this purpose with the goal to realise a practical example for the transition to energy-neutral buildings. The first office chair with a patented climate function from Klöber is in on the action.
Adjustable in height by 10 cm, scaled.
The ISO 10993 is an ISO standard series for the biological evaluation of medical devices.
This design award from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology was presented for leading international achievements from the field of product design for the first time in 1969, when it went by the name of "Bundespreis Gute Form". Since 2006, the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany has been awarded annually for outstanding achievements in the areas of product and communication design and for a selected design personality.
The iF label is recognised worldwide as a quality mark for excellent design.
Lumbar support, optional. Provides additional support for the lumbar region.
Constant contact with the pelvis during the entire movement. No "shirtdragging" effect.
An abradant and a fabric are subjected to a rubbing motion using the Martindale method. Abrasion resistance is stated in rub cycles. Rub cycles are used as a unit, like grams or centimetres. The fabric is more durable the higher the number of cycles.
The red dot design award is an international design competition that is staged annually, breaking down into the categories of product design and communication design.
An intervertebral disc is a flexible link consisting of fibrocartilage between the vertebrae.
The armrest top is adjustable by 5 cm in depth and by approx. 3 cm in width without tools. The armrest top is made from soft TPU foam with a pleasant soft feel that is gentle to the skin.
The Quality Office guideline defines quality standards for office furnishings in accordance with the latest ergonomic findings.
Counter chairs are intended specifically for use at checkouts, at counters and reception desks in the retail and wholesale sectors, airports, info points, hotels hospitals and banks.
Targets for the sustainability and environmental compatibility of the products are defined in the product development process and the ecological footprint requirements are stipulated as part of the quality assessment.
The ecological footprint includes both the recycling rate and an assessment of the energy input.
The American LEED® quality mark (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most broadly established certificate on the international market.
DLX® (Duo-Latex) mesh. Breathable 2-ply technology featuring flexible latex fabric for optimum pressure distribution in the seat and back avoids pressure points and promotes circulation.
The Dutch NPR standard (= Nederlandse Praktijk Richtlijn) defines special office chair dimensions for particularly short and tall people.
Klöber office swivel chairs bear the “GS” (safety-approved) seal of approval and fully comply with the relevant standards and guidelines.
Why are women always freezing cold and why are men always too hot?
Every room has something known as a general macroclimate. It is caused by centrally-controlled influences such as heating and air conditioning, by ventilation through opening windows or sunlight. The macroclimate may also be unavoidable to a certain extent, because architecture, infrastructure or office use present problematic conditions. It may also be created artificially and deliberately, for instance because work needs to be carried out under specified temperature conditions. Men and women have a very different perception of temperature. For this reason the room temperature is always going to be a compromise. The unique Klöber Klimastuhl® solves the problem!
The Klimastuhl helps to counter the top complaints in the office
The room climate and temperature at work are the main causes for complaint in the office, according to the results of IFMA studies made between 1991 – 2009. The room climate is the second-most frequently cited cause for complaint in the office after physical problems according to the Investitionsstudie Büro 2014/2015 (Investment Study Office 2014/2015). One person’s too hot, another’s too cold. The option of defining the “correct” temperature yourself is a key factor in feeling comfortable at work. The Klöber Klimastuhl makes this possible: every employee can regulate the temperature wherever they sit, selecting their own personal heating preferences. Flexible, any time. And just as they like it.
Saving energy – reducing costs
In an era of rising energy costs, growing awareness of climate protection and conservation of resources, energy management is becoming an increasingly important theme for companies. In this context, heating and air conditioning certainly rank amongst the main cost drivers, alongside electricity for office equipment and lighting. Yet the potential for savings is enormous.
Studies prove the positive effect of the Klimastuhl
The climate study, which was conducted as a field study in the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Kaiserslautern, clearly demonstrates: an office chair with a climate function has a significant influence on the thermal experience at work.
The temperature at work is a key variable for productivity. Extremes of heat or cold have a stressful effect on the body and make us less efficient. An optimum temperature in the office helps to enhance people’s comfort and performance and decrease the error rate according to studies carried out at Cornell University. In a study by Berkeley University, 23 test candidates underwent 69 tests each lasting 2.25h on an office chair with climate function, to find out at what room temperatures the test candidates were still in their “thermal comfort zone” when they activated a heating or ventilation function on their chair – and were therefore able to continue working productively as demonstrated in the Cornell study. The result is convincing: On average 90% of test candidates for whom the room temperatures were within the range of 18° - 29° and who had access to a heating and ventilation function on their chair were within a thermal comfort range.
