Latin America. It is well known that controlled lighting systems can save 60% in energy consumption, but now the benefits in work performance are also highlighted, which can generate significant increases in the productivity and safety of workers in commercial buildings.
Studies show that there is a direct relationship between the level of visual comfort and productivity, and that lighting control impacts worker productivity by up to 5%. Taking into account that one of the highest investments of a company is in human resources, an increase in productivity, however small, can become an important factor for the success of its operations.
The possibility of being able to control the lighting and generate a visual environment with light levels appropriate to your workspace promotes concentration and allows workers to feel more comfortable, enjoy better visibility for the performance of their tasks and, therefore, better levels of safety in your workplace.
According to Rubén Urquijo, Director of Corporate Accounts for Latin America for Lutron Electronics, "identifying the type of activity that takes place in work spaces is essential to be able to determine the amount of light necessary to feel comfortable and perform the required tasks."
For situations when there are no workers present in offices, or in spaces where the lights are on but are not used all the time, such as in conference rooms or bathrooms, there are solutions, such as Quantum by Lutron, that through automatic controls and by programming of astronomical clock turn off or dim light sources after working hours.
