Installing modular flooring may also letyou reap the tax benefits put into place by theEnergy Policy Act of 2005, which allows taxdeductions for commercial construction thatmeets energy efficient criteria.A Healthy Work EnvironmentWorker comfort is one of the top workplaceissues challenging organizations. With raisedaccess flooring, clean and newly conditionedair is introduced through the floor directly intothe occupied zone. The air with the impuritiesnaturally rises to be removed from the space.Air diffusers can be adjusted by occupantsto give them greater temperature control,allowing them to focus on their work.Sustainability/LEEDUnderfloor air is one of the single mosteffective strategies, reaping savings in initialbuilding costs and continuing operationalcosts, and for gaining LEED points.
