Light vertical surfaces/walls to increase the perceived brightness of the space. Integrate natural and electric lighting strategies, and provide controls that optimize daylighting/electric lighting interaction.Provide connections to indoor and outdoor nature where possible.Provide views and access to the outdoor environment for all occupants.Provide as much natural daylight as possible for occupants while avoiding excessive heat loss, heat gain, and glare.Utilize CO 2 sensors to assess the air quality of spaces to adjust ventilation.Ĭreate a High Quality Visual Environment (Including Lighting, Daylighting, and Visual Interest).Provide individual air and temperature controls at each workstation.Evaluate the use of access floors with displacement ventilation for flexibility, personal comfort control, and energy savings.Consider providing a temperature and humidity monitoring system to ensure optimal thermal comfort performance.
VISUAL LIGHTING TECHNOLOGIES GLASSDOOR WINDOWS
Analyze placement, configuration, and type of windows and skylights and provide adequate, controllable shading to avoid "hot spots" caused by direct sunlight.Consider providing individual environmental controls in these rooms. Analyze room configurations and HVAC distribution layouts to ensure all parts of a room are receiving adequate ventilation, especially spaces where teams or groups meet.Incorporate natural ventilation, if appropriate to the location, and consider adjusting the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 55 to account for the impact.At a minimum, comply with American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy.Provide Quality Thermal and Ventilation Comfort Enclose or separate group activity spaces from work areas where concentration is important.Provide opportunities for privacy and concentration when needed in open plan offices.Minimize background noise from the building's HVAC system and other equipment.Limit transmission of noise from outside the workplace by designing high sound transmission class (STC) walls between work areas and high noise areas inside and outside the building.Specify acoustical ceilings or ceiling tiles with a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of 0.75.Reduce sound reverberation time inside the workplace by specifying sound absorbing materials and by configuring spaces to dampen rather than magnify sound reverberation.Recommendations Provide a Superior Acoustic Environment
