Many studies have found that sunlight has many benefits for our health. Exposure to natural light is especially beneficial for a person's positive attitude and energy. Natural light in the morning and evening has been found to reduce depression and improve mood, energy, alertness and productivity.
There are three types of light in the office environment:
1.Artificial light sources, which can be lights or display screens.
2.Natural light source, natural light also has different color temperature and brightness with the change of time in the day.
3. Artificial light combined with natural light, such light can often combine the advantages of the two light sources.
Reduce absenteeism with good lighting
Incorrect use of artificial light to stimulate people may cause dizziness and other uncomfortable feelings, such as eye fatigue, blurred vision, dry eyes and headaches. Health problems caused by inadequate lighting are not limited to the eyes. In poor lighting, people tend to work in awkward positions for long periods of time, which can also lead to spinal disorders and other musculoskeletal injuries. In 2016 Office for National Statistics figures showed that absenteeism costs UK businesses up to £36 billion a year, so don't let lighting be a health hazard in your office.
Lighting can affect the level of business productivity
The study found that people who worked under artificial lighting were more likely to feel tired at the end of the workday, while those who worked under natural light were able to continue working longer.
The human body's exposure to natural light has a great impact on the quality of sleep and mental state. For example, employees who sit near Windows tend to receive 1.5 times more natural light during working hours than other colleagues, and they get about half an hour more sleep at night than other colleagues.
To maximize your productivity, it's important to take advantage of the office's natural light as much as possible. The lighting system must be flexible and adapt to the needs of different scenes. It must provide an environment that motivates people and stimulates productivity.
Improve health and enhance well-being
The ideal lighting solution in an office is a positive, stimulating light atmosphere that allows light to be unhindered. The use of brightness sensors ensures that employees are working at a constant lighting level to promote concentration.
Rational use can effectively reduce energy consumption
The use of energy-saving light sources to reduce overall energy consumption has been a topic that has been paid attention to for a long time. Reasonable layout and maximum use of natural light are the goals that architects and designers continue to pursue.
