A new survey of homeworkers, admittedly these were Dutch but I think the findings still stand, indicate that they work most efficiently and are less liable to burnout when their air ventilation arrangements are good.
Writing in the science journal Plos One, researchers Martijn Stroom, Piet Eichholtz, and Nils Kok from Maastricht University surveyed more than 1,000 Dutch homeworkers say: "Higher satisfaction with home office factors is significantly associated with increased productivity and decreased burnout tendency. We continue by showing that more ventilation during working hours is associated with increased productivity, willingness to continue WFH, and burnout resilience... We find that higher home office satisfaction is associated with WFH success and air-quality-improving behavior is associated with higher satisfaction."
They conclude that the results show a holistic approach is the way forward and that investing in a healthy working climate is key to being happy and successful. You can read the whole report free online here.
