The Case for Investment
There are various elements of performance that ensure investing in PRS technology is a fiscally sound strategy. Here we explore each factor, using our lab and live-site testing, and third-party research, to make the case for investment.
Central to PRS’ value proposition are the five key components featured below. Most client scenarios benefit from at least one of these components and we are happy to discuss options and explore likely outcomes on request.
Despite the differences in building conditions and age, investment returns are typically very compelling, with likely return of capital within 24 months and a return on capital of at least 70%.
Composite IAQ Solution
The PRS IAQ solution not only enhances overall wellbeing but also presents compelling economic advantages throughout diverse operational arenas. It contributes to environmental sustainability through energy savings while safeguarding occupants from airborne pathogens and external pollutants.
In addition to the clear health improvements associated with cleaner air, buildings utilising PRS experience considerable financial benefits, including reduced operating costs, increased occupant productivity, and the potential for carbon tax offsets.
Tenants and landlords alike will derive significant value from PRS performance, whether they are focused on cutting-edge IAQ management or maximising rental yields and property valuations.
Below we summarise the three key factors and provide links to third-party research and related resources.
Energy & Carbon Performance
Through safely increased air recirculation, reduced energy consumption and costs associated with heating, cooling, dehumidifying, etc. external air
Lower carbon footprint due to energy efficiency; potential carbon tax offsets and neutralisation support
Human Health & Productivity
Reducing airborne pathogen transmission risks today while strengthening resilience against future infectious threats
Reduced exposure to outdoor pollutants including NO₂, SO₂ and particulate matter through intelligent ventilation management
Workforce wellbeing benefits including reduced absenteeism, improved cognitive performance and lower healthcare costs
Asset Value Preservation
Realising the right side of the valuation spread – avoiding brown discounting and capturing green premiums
Ensuring compliance with existing/pending legislation and industry guidelines on carbon neutralisation and more transparent, data-driven evidence of healthy spaces

“I am honored to be joining the PRS Advisory Board at a time when reduced energy consumption and improved air quality are the watchwords for mitigating climate change and improving human health. Our shared goal is to accelerate the path for people-first places that can support the health of millions of people now, and in the future. It’s an exciting time.”
