Sunlight for a lighter mood
A study carried out by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) reveals that offices bathed in daylight can lower the energy costs for artificial lighting and improve the well-being of employees.
If offices are sufficiently daylit, employees feel brighter and are more motivated. This effect cannot be achieved by artificial lighting alone. Moreover, energy costs associated with artificial lighting can be reduced. But if daylight is exploited (e.g., with skylights), temperatures in the offices should not increase excessively, as this in turn could adversely affect employees.
