Cognitive Performance Badge: Boosting Productivity and Brain Power

The Cognitive Performance badge is earned by components of the building that promote Cognitive health. Cognitive health directly impacts cognitive performance, which is a measure of how well our brains are functioning when it comes to focus, energy, and alertness. When working with details, learning at the deepest level, or creating something new, these factors are essential to foster a sense of enjoyment, fulfillment, and alignment with the project at hand.

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the connection between our environment and our productivity, creativity, and overall cognitive performance. With this research in mind, Frequency® has added features to the building that elevate you to be at your best in the face of cognitively demanding projects.

The amenities provided in Frequency® buildings are designed to support learners, creators, and knowledge workers by boosting focus, energy, and problem-solving abilities. If you want the most for your brain and the best for your projects, these buildings are a valuable asset built to support you and your goals.

Amenities with this badge

Air Quality

Air quality is a critical aspect of health. Studies have shown that pollutants in the air cause acute reductions in cognitive function (18) (19). Therefore, these buildings are designed with state-of-the-art filtration and high ventilation rates that ensure a steady flow of fresh, oxygenated, and clean air to keep the brain sharp and focused.

Water Quality

Like air filters, water filters help to remove pollutants that harm cognitive performance. This similarly helps keep the brain sharp and focused.

Lighting

Lighting is another critical aspect of staying energized, alert, and focused. Blue light, which is typically most prevalent early in the day, is more associated with energy and wakefulness. With this in mind, Frequency buildings provide light sources that help to regulate circadian rhythms, promote alertness, and boost productivity.

Temperature Control

Optimal temperature ranges for productivity are around 72 degrees, with variations depending on gender and personal preference. Therefore, these buildings are equipped with advanced temperature control systems that allow workers to customize their environment to suit their needs.

Cold Plunge

Studies show that a cold plunge increases baseline dopamine and noradrenaline levels, hormones that are critical for focus and engagement. Therefore, taking a cold plunge leads to increased energy and improved cognitive performance, allowing a deeper and more sustained level of focus.

Sauna

 By activating natural preservative hormones in the body, sauna sessions protect the brain, improve cognition, and decrease the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
