Addressing Cold and Heat Exposure
Millions of people worldwide suffer from discomfort and reduced productivity due to extreme cold and heat. Cold exposure, in particular, poses severe health and safety risks, both short and long term, which can limit the number of physically active years.
Financial Impact on Contractors
Increased Productivity:
RWDY’s graphene-based technology allows construction professionals to maintain optimal body temperature in cold environments. This improvement can reduce the significant productivity losses typically seen in such conditions. For example, at -15 degrees, productivity can drop by 40%, leading to substantial economic losses, including a $15 billion annual loss for U.S. workers (McKinsey & Company).
Financial Impact on Contractors
More Billable Hours:
By using RWDY's technology, contractors can maintain their productivity levels during winter months. This means that workers can complete tasks more efficiently and consistently, regardless of the weather. As a result, contractors can increase the number of billable hours, leading to higher revenues.
Financial Impact on Contractors
Cost Savings:
With improved temperature regulation, workers are less likely to experience cold-related health issues, reducing sick days and healthcare costs. Additionally, maintaining productivity can prevent delays and reduce the need for overtime, which can be more costly.
Financial Impact on Contractors
Competitive Advantage:
Contractors using advanced heating technologies can market their services as more reliable and efficient in all weather conditions. This can attract more clients and projects, enhancing the contractor's market position and profitability.
Summary
RWDY’s graphene-based heated apparel can significantly enhance productivity in cold conditions, leading to increased billable hours, cost savings, and a competitive edge. This innovation can mitigate the substantial economic losses associated with cold weather, making it a valuable investment for contractors.
