Healthy Lighting in the Workspace

HEALTHY WORKPLACE A healthy working environment contributes to an attractive workplace with a positive impact on staff retention and employer branding. It requires lighting design taking into account both the visual and non-visual human needs.

PRODUCTIVITY With the right lighting and its dynamics, tailored to the building's functions and working environment, we can help employees experience better sleep, fewer headaches, improved performance and reduce sick leave.

SUSTAINABILITY By incorporating health-focused lighting into workspaces you both address Environmental and Social stewardship for the benefit of your ESG and CSR strategy.

"On average we spend 90% of our time indoors and a considerable portion of that time is spent in the workplaces. But if our indoor spaces don't match the human need for circadian and cyclical influence, we risk our health. Therefore, we have a responsibility to design our work environments with the right lighting throughout the day to keep a stable circadian rythm that ensures our health."

24/7 WORKPLACES

Around the clock worksplaces have special needs as their staff is working in shifts and at night when the human body needs a restful sleep. The lighting must take into account both the need for a powerful daylight experience during the day and low intensity light at night to support the body’s circadian rhythm.

Circadian lighting recreates the beneficial effects of natural light and it automatically adjusts throughout the day.

DAYTIME WORKPLACES

For the daytime workplaces we must ensure that the lighting in the workspace is sufficient for both the visual and non-visual systems. If we don’t get enough light our body don’t get the energy boost that will ensure our well-being during the day and a good night’s sleep, ultimately affecting our health.

Circadian lighting recreates the beneficial effects of natural light even when we are indoor and far from the windows.
