Office & Education Lighting Solutions

The design of office and educational lighting solutions greatly influences how well the space meets the needs of those utilizing the space and their organizations. Lighting is a critical element of design that can enhance or degrade the overall experience and affect the well-being of personnel or students. Besides enhancing individual worker performance, effective lighting can also contribute to improving an organization’s financial outcomes through the optimal utilization of upgraded products and energy-saving smart software and analytics.

Office Lighting Challenges and Opportunities

As our work environment continually evolves, our expectations and demands for lighting are also in a constant state of enhancement. Presently, the emphasis is on energy efficiency, adaptability, individual control, and the advancement of human health and overall well-being.

Here are the needs of office lighting

1. Enhancing the comfort and promoting a healthy working environment.
2. Fostering a positive work atmosphere and enhancing work efficiency.
3. Improving the energy efficiency and utilization of LED lighting.

Health Strategy

Light balance between natural and artificial lighting

According to the Rocky Mountain Research Institute, incorporating natural light into the workplace can yield significant benefits. This includes a potential increase in production efficiency ranging from 6% to 16%. Moreover, it contributes to better health, mood enhancement, and improved overall work efficiency. Achieving these benefits involves the use of daylight sensors to automatically control curtains and adjust shutter blade angles, as well as utilizing constant illuminance sensors. These sensors ensure that the desktop’s working illuminance remains within the optimal range of 500-700 LUX, providing consistent and stable lighting.

Additionally, employing an astronomical clock can help optimize energy usage. In the winter, it automatically closes the sunshade when no one is in the room, allowing natural light to provide warmth, thus raising the indoor temperature. Conversely, in the summer, it automatically lowers the curtain to block heat radiation, resulting in potential energy savings of 10%-20% for HVAC systems.
