The word office derives from the Latin term officium. This translates in English to “task performance.” For ideal working conditions on any given interior task, whether inside a building, gathering place or home, providing evenly distributed high-CRI LED light with the proper, human-centric lighting controls, is crucial for improved health, mood and quality of work.
What does the individual need and want to produce quality work? Enough desk space to spread elbows to type, write and create? A power outlet and natural light? Ample lighting? Privacy? The Commune, a compact work and collaborative space in Texas designed to meet creative demand, features all of this in various detail.
When it comes to office lighting, most workplaces are faced with outdated systems that are wasting both money and energy. It’s a disappointing fact as extensive research has shown that office lighting plays a major role in the productivity of office workers. It’s been proven that LED lighting that mimics or compliments natural light leads to greater productivity amongst workers as well as having a significant affect on an individual’s happiness and circadian rhythm.
