In August 2019, the University of Oregon released a white paper titled “The Impact of Lighting and Views on the Workplace of the Future.” (cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.uoregon.edu/dist/3/15526/files/2019/08/20190503_Whitepaper-The-impact-of-lighting-and-views-on-the-workplace-of-the-future.pdf) The paper concludes that daylight rooms with controlled lighting and views can improve occupant well-being, workplace productivity and satisfaction by positively influencing various physiological and psychological processes. The researchers concluded: “Lighting and views also affect property value as well as employee recruitment and retention.” We deal with the issues that many people face in family law matters.

As intangible as it is, the lighting solution that supports this office is considered an advantage for Michael Best because happier employees are more productive and more likely to stay in an organization. Anecdotal evidence shows that employees feel more comfortable because of their personal preferences. In addition, the specialized NX switching station offers employees the ability to increase and decrease the brightness of lighting, as well as turn lighting on and off in a specific room or area. This can be used in conjunction with the color-matched wall station and works independently of color control. This provides employees with another level of dimming control, which they can select based on mood, the demands of the work to be done in the room, and daylight conditions. “Adjusting office lighting to simulate changes in outdoor sunlight based on the time of day can increase employee productivity.

To attract and retain the best employees, Michael Best decided to build his new office on 31,000 square feet of Class A office space at 1000 Maine, one of The Wharf`s first commercial offices. With impressive natural light and ten-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling windows, rooms at this commercial establishment offer some of the best views of the city, the Potomac River, and the country`s landmarks. We actively support our clients who compete and do business everywhere, whether through successful litigation or legal advice in various sectors. Neither industry nor academia has fully agreed on a prescriptive approach to circadian lighting. A considerable amount of ongoing research is being conducted to find out how different intensities and colors affect people on a neurological level. It has been proven that adjusting office lighting to simulate changes in outdoor solar radiation based on the time of day can increase employee productivity. Daylight, through Earth`s 24-hour light-dark cycle, and electric light can power the human circadian system, internal clocks that regulate daily behavior and timing of biological processes, such as the release of the hormones melatonin and cortisol, which help control blood sugar and affect energy levels. In the business environment, good design has become synonymous with hiring and retaining talent. As a designer, Michael Best realized he had a significant opportunity to incorporate many items from the wish list.
With a solid understanding of the LED lighting market, the company decided to incorporate more than state-of-the-art fixtures into the design and added Color Temperature Tuning (CCT) lighting technology to the list of specifications. After evaluating solid-state lighting (“SSL”) products and control systems from a number of suppliers, the general contractor – Harvey-Cleary Builders – and Michael Best selected Hubbell Lighting as their lighting and control supplier. Hubbell`s local representative, One Source Associates, was tasked with developing a tunable SSL system that meets the requirements of different colors and light qualities to provide ideal light for employees while meeting LEED energy efficiency requirements. This project demonstrates that light affects people and that office spaces designed around the occupants of the space rather than around the space itself can be a strategic asset. With the right lighting, it has become an environment where everyone wants to spend time. Because the SpectraSync system runs on the NX Distributed Intelligence backbone, Michael Best has the ability to optimize the system and perform updates as needed. Working with tech companies, Michael Best is aware that light has an impact on people. Ongoing research will be facilitated to understand how light can affect human sleep cycles, health and productivity. Built-in NX sensors, for example, allow Michael Best to automatically adjust brightness to incident natural light. Vacancy sensors are already being used to replace the control of all luminaires, increasing the efficiency of the project.
