Davinci Virtual

What many in the business world may not realize is that companies in the United States that utilize virtual office space are actually complying with the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. While it might seem to be the trendy thing to do, the fact of the matter is that many companies have been incorporating green, or environmentally-friendly, policies since the Clean Air Act was enacted in the 1990s.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires companies with 100 or more employees in heavily polluted regions to develop plans to reduce automobile commuting by 25 percent. As a result, since the Act went into effect in 1996, the number of telecommuters and virtual offices in the business world have dramatically increased.

Productivity levels rise with a virtual office or telecommuting arrangement because employees work in familiar surroundings and save time traveling to and from the office. The total daily hours worked at home in a virtual office space is much longer than it could ever be in an office.

Virtual Office Space Tip: Small businesses in non-urban regions that use a virtual office space are also able to be green, saving on utilities, while their employees save on commuting costs (and use less gas).
