Lighting
Enhance wellbeing and efficiency with the right workplace lighting
Lighting in the workplace is an essential and crucial part of a good working environment. In the workplace, lighting consists of natural daylight, artificial ceiling lighting and special lighting, such as work lamps and desk lamps. Often, you may not even notice the lighting until something is “wrong” with it. But lighting is about more than just visibility. Both the visual and non-visual properties of light affect us every single day. Visually, proper lighting enables you to carry out your tasks safely, in appropriate working postures, and without making mistakes. Non-visual properties of light influence several of our biological processes – such as levels of fatigue, thermoregulation, and hormone release.
If the visual lighting conditions at your workplace are not optimal, you will be less efficient and risk straining your eyes and body to such an extent that you develop headaches and musculoskeletal problems. The latest research has documented that the non-visual effects of light play a major role in our wellbeing. For example, a solution with dynamically controlled light that mimics the human natural day and night rhythm will affect our biological processes and support our wellbeing and comfort.
How we can support your organisation when it comes to lighting
Mapping existing lighting
We measure your current lighting conditions and identify common issues such as glare, disruptive reflections, or insufficient illumination.
Guidance on efficiency and health
We advise you on how the visual and non-visual aspects of lighting can be improved so that everyone can work safely and efficiently without discomfort.
Support for new office design
We provide guidance in the early stages of establishing new workspaces, including recommendations on lighting selection and placement.
Ideal lighting conditions increase productivity
The root causes of lighting-related problems are often found in glare, disruptive reflections on screens and work surfaces, insufficient or excessive light, and disturbing shadows. Through measurements, calculations, and visualisations, we document the lighting conditions in your organisation and advise on solutions that promote wellbeing, comfort, and efficiency.
We help you improve lighting in the workplace
At Human House, we stay updated on the latest knowledge and regulations concerning daylight, outlook, and artificial lighting. We apply this expertise in our consultancy services to ensure the optimal lighting conditions for your organisation – not only meeting legal requirements, but also supporting the individual needs of your employees. When establishing new workspaces, such as open plan offices, it is vital to take a holistic approach to organisation, layout, furnishings, flexibility, and choice of lighting fixtures.
