There are many areas in which commercial spaces have changed the way they look and the way they present themselves to prospective clients. Gone are the little-hole-in-the-wall, windowless office spaces. Offices these days are all about open, airy spaces, with glass and chrome and offer a good ambience for workers and clients alike. Open cubicles, large cafeterias, large windows overlooking greenery, well lit atriums are all in. The reason is quite obvious. It is about giving the effect of more space and light.
Commercial contractors are using all the new advances in building technology to offer better workspaces for their clients. These are some of the areas to which commercial building contractors are paying more attention to.
Security
The need for security has become much more important as more research and development happens in offices, and confidential information needs to be protected. The level of security in new buildings has increased dramatically over the last decade. Some of these security features include infra red lights, occupancy sensors, etc. These are just a few among the many security measurements used in new construction.
Communication
With the financial world totally dependent on technology, it has become more and more important that buildings have their own communications systems, their own electric system etc., and if any of these fail and a business loses communication, billions could be lost. Builders try to make their constructions as self sufficient as possible.
Worker productivity
A healthy and good ambience in the workspace makes for a healthy and happy workforce leading to more productivity. Businesses have learnt that to make money they have to keep their staff happy and they factor in the needs of the staff when creating workspaces.
How has lighting in commercial spaces changed over the years?
Gone are the days where employees slaved under artificial light in sweaty offices. Now, they have centrally air conditioned workspaces with good lighting. Of late, businesses have woken up to the fact that in spite of providing comfortable workspaces, working under artificial lights brings down the productivity of the workers. They have switched to daylighting systems and LED lights which are healthier options
How do you incorporate daylighting systems and LEDS in commercial
spaces?
Daylighting systems and Smart LEDs have a lot of advantages
Easy to install
Daylighting sytems can be installed with the minimum of fuss and in no time at all. There are no structural changes required to install daylighting systems
Low energy bills
Daylighting systems and Smart LEDs use the natural energy of the sun to light up your commercial spaces and hence you will find a big drop in your energy bill.
Light control
Daylighting systems use infinity tubing that can bring natural light to hard-to-reach spaces. The light can be directed towards specific parts of the room. Daylighting accessories help in controlling the amount of light coming in.
