Calm Tech Certified™ for Spaces
Introducing Thoughtful Technology for Hospitality.
​
When guests spend less energy sorting out a room, they can spend more time doing what they intended - relaxing, resting and restoring.
Air Quality
High C02 Levels have a significant effect on thinking, decision-making and alertness
​​
Air is one of the most invisible interfaces. It's all around us, but we sit in a conference room for hours, the C02 buildup makes us feel sleepy. It's the same in any space. Efficient HVAC systems can make a huge difference in wellness and recovery. A 2010 study on the influence of carbon dioxide on brain activity and metabolism in humans found that increased CO2 levels cause the brain to reduce metabolism and spontaneous neural activity.
​
Implementation tips:
​
-
HVAC systems should cycle air in rooms between 4-5x per hour
-
Ensure filters are cleaning the outside air from VOCs and other compounds before introducing air into the room
-
Use natural materials and low VOC paints to reduce the number of particulate matter in the room ​
Controls with Raised Buttons and Dots
Your hands have eyes, too!
​
Touch interfaces without tactile feedback increase cognitive load and require visual attention. Calm Tech Certified™ prioritizes interfaces that can be operated through peripheral awareness and touch alone.
​
Implementation tips:
-
Add raised tactile elements to key buttons or interaction points
-
Incorporate textured dots on primary controls for easy identification by touch
-
Include a minimum height differential of 0.8mm for tactile elements
