Description

Full Description

For many people, the office is the environment where they spend the majority of their waking adult lives. The expectation is that the time spent in the office will be useful and productive, and that the physical environment will be healthy.

The design of the office greatly influences how well the space meets the needs of the workers and their
organization. Lighting is a critical element of the design that may enhance or degrade the work experience
and affect the well-being of the workers. Beyond supporting worker performance, lighting may also
affect the bottom line of the organization by making the best use possible of materials and electricity.

This recommended practice has been substantially reorganized and reworked from earlier editions to
address these issues in the changing office environment. By maintaining a focus on lighting quality
and human visual performance, and using the available technology, lighting practitioners can light
the workplace more effectively. Their careful attention to the details, and willingness to work with and
educate other members of the design team (architects, engineers, interior designers, owners and
users), will ensure the best possible use of available resources in design solutions that are cost effective,
environmentally sustainable, and that yield higher workplace satisfaction and consequently enhanced
organizational productivity.
