Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of industrial workspaces in climate change and the urgent need for sustainable practices. It explores the significant contributions of traditional HVAC systems, lighting, and industrial processes to carbon emissions, highlighting the importance of adopting innovative technologies. The text discusses the environmental impact of traditional HVAC systems and presents strategies for mitigating their carbon footprint, such as energy-efficient technologies and smart controls. It also examines the benefits of LED lighting, including energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and lower environmental impact. Furthermore, the chapter introduces zeolite exhaust systems as a promising technology for capturing CO and other pollutants, showcasing their effectiveness through case studies. The text emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainability with worker well-being, highlighting the positive impact of natural light, ergonomic designs, and biophilic elements on employee health and productivity. It concludes by stressing the need for industries to adopt holistic sustainability strategies that prioritize both environmental and human well-being, providing a roadmap for a greener and healthier future.
