One also has to interact with various entities to manage services and pay bills like electricity, water, rent, maintenance etc which makes office space a complex operation to manage.

In a business centre, you can simply come with your laptop and start working. The business centre does all these tasks for you and all you have to do is pay a consolidated amount. This saves your time and energy and lets you focus on your work.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

We all are aware that air pollution has become a grave concern, more so in New Delhi. And, we spend over 90% time indoors and one-third of our life working. It is imperative that the first thing we should worry about is the quality of air. Fortunately, at PBC, we have been able to combat this problem. An Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) system - which is a combination of air-purifying plants (>1200 natural plants inside the building) and a mechanical air filtration system using HEPA filters - helps in purifying and oxygenating air, with VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) meeting USA ASHRAE standards, as well as reducing Bacteria and Fungus count and the rate of absenteeism, to a significant level.

We don’t use chemical insecticides and pesticides. Rather, we use vermin manure which is sterilized and doesn’t promote the growth of insects in the building. Also, all our in-house plants are cleaned by expert gardener.

PBC pays paramount attention to Indoor Air Quality and Indoor Air Environment. Thus, we have made PBC as an air-tight building. It helps us save energy through reduced heat loss, stable indoor climate and air quality, high level of air cleanliness, low and controlled humidity, improving sustainable criteria for achieving environment certificates. Moreover, being a centrally air-conditioned building, opening of windows will affect the internal cooling.

Firstly, food dropping promotes the growth of moulds/fungus which can affect your health. Secondly, being a centralized AC building, the smell can spread all-across, which may not be liked by other clients. Thirdly, it affects our indoor air quality and promotes the growth of cockroaches and rodents.
