The Human Factor

How space is constructed and arranged has an enormous impact on the individuals who spend the majority of their day there. There are the bare essentials such as desks and chairs, lighting, and HVAC. While these alone can provide a space to work, it has been shown to be detrimental to a company's long-term success to focus solely on them. The human response to these limited provisions is a huge factor.

Our bodies and psychology have evolved with the essential rhythms of the day, and we take unconscious cues from the changes occurring from sunrise to sunset. Natural light invigorates us, while many interior lighting fixtures invoke a sense of distance and dull stagnation. A well-designed lighting system adjusts the fixtures’ color temperature to match our functional need for natural light and its ambiance.

Managing the environment of workspaces is essential for the comfort of the body and the mind. We are creatures of collaboration, working in teams to innovate and grow. Having the assurance that the climate control systems can provide safe ventilation and monitoring provides one less concern. Employees can focus on the job at hand, knowing that the air quality is good.

Optimizing Business and Building

Like a well-designed conference room makes meetings more productive with the right audiovisual tools, environmental tools make a space. The optimal system combines factors that are best for the business and the building.

Lighting, shades, and the HVAC working in concert can orchestrate high employee satisfaction and substantial savings. While daylighting brings in abundant natural light, it also increases the temperature, causing the air conditioning to work harder, costing more money.

An automated system tracks the sun throughout the day, making necessary changes. The lights are adjusted to match the outdoors and supplement as the day goes on to bring balance. The motorized shades engage to provide different light penetration levels, cutting glare while minimizing temperature spikes. The climate control systems use automation and partner with motorized shades to promote less air conditioning use in the summer and less heat use in the winter.

While the system sets an ideal baseline, the staff's individual needs are also crucial to better well-being by providing personal control of direct lighting intensity and color, ensuring that eyestrain and fatigue are subdued.

The entire building is an ecosystem, each of the parts affecting the others. It is good for the health of the people and property to know how the facility is performing.  Seamless monitoring of all systems can report on the air quality, electrical and energy usage, filtration, and more. The metrics can help you spot problems or changes in workflow and work to accommodate them and keep budgets in check.
