Lobbies, Hallways & Public Areas

First impressions of office buildings are often made in the entrance lobby. The lighting in public areas should complement the architecture, provide a sense of safety and balanced with the lighting in adjacent areas.

Design Tips for the lighting in public area:

Lighting in entrance lobbies should provide a safe outdoor-to-indoor transition, i.e. the ability of one’s eyes to adapt from outdoor to indoor lighting conditions.
Highly reflective lobby walls can be wall washed with light to provide illumination for the lobby and occupants.
For glass enclosed lobbies, the interior walls need to be at higher luminance in the day (to be seen from outside) and lower at night. Consider controlled dimming systems.
Public areas often stay lit for extended periods of time or round-the-clock. Consider the most energy efficient light sources.
Many of the internal public areas receive little or no natural daylight. Indirect light, reflected off of walls and ceilings will provide these areas with sufficient general illuminations and provide safe and easy passage for employees and visitors.
Secondary or fire egress stairwells get very little traffic on a daily basis and are good candidates for energy control systems that lower light levels when vacant.
Hallway illuminance should be about one fifth of that in adjacent areas.
Higher illuminance is recommended in elevator lobbies, especially over the elevator threshold.

Open Office

Driven by the trends in employee communication and networking, modern open office environments require flexibility, dynamism, and ergonomic design. Effective lighting solutions can meet these demands while minimizing energy consumption.

Design Tips for Open Office Lighting:

Combination of ambient and task lighting

Balance the ambient and task lighting to create comfortable viewing and glare-free environments. This approach is conducive to productivity by providing suitable lighting for both general viewing and specific tasks.

Implement a three-level lighting scheme:

Level One: Provide lower illumination for circulation areas and corridors between workstation clusters.

Level Two: Apply intermediate illumination over workstation areas.

Level Three: Install high-intensity illumination at the workplace to support detailed tasks.

By integrating these strategies, businesses can ensure a balanced and efficient lighting setup, enhance workspace functionality, and promote a conducive environment for employees.

Private Office

Most private offices are relatively small, feature floor-to-ceiling partitions, and have a single occupant. Integrating natural daylight into private office not only can enhances visual comfort but provide essential stimulation. Furthermore, natural daylight can boost productivity and well-being, creating a more appealing and efficient work environment within internal office.

Design Tips for private office lighting:

Install wall wash or cove light luminaires can utilize a wall’s reflectance to create a sense of brightness and openness.
When using direct lighting, consider desk placement for proper task illumination.
Avoid using HID lamps in down lights for task illumination as they can cause harsh shadows.

Reception Area

Reception area is a space where visitors from their perception about your company. The atmosphere should be welcoming and should reflect your company’s philosophy and the way you do business.

Design Tips for reception area lighting:

Reception areas are primarily occupied by visitors. Lighting should be restful while providing sufficient illuminance levels for scanning magazines, taking notes, using laptops, and conversing.
Light one or more walls or ceilings and part of the walls can create restful illumination and eliminate laptop screens.
Accent lighting on wall graphics, corporate logos, pictures, statues, and planters, attracts attention and makes the setting more interesting.
If there is a reception desk and attendant, ensure to illuminate the attendant's face with ceiling-mounted luminaires and eliminate harsh shadows from downlights directly above the desk.

Contain products with reduced levels of mercury.
Save energy.
Incorporate long life or extended life products.

Why Use Energy Efficient, Long Life Lighting Systems?

Sustainable operations consume fewer resources, leading to lower operating expenses and higher net operating income. (NOI)
Energy efficient lighting systems generate less heat, reducing the building’s HVAC cooling load and providing additional savings.
New energy efficient lighting systems increase a property’s resale value.
They deliver more comfortable illumination, providing employees with the ability to select light levels that are suitable and comfortable for specific tasks.
Be seen as a better neighbor. Taking a leadership role in improving your building’s environmental “footprint” demonstrates leadership and commitment to social responsibility and community benefit.

What Makes a Good Office Lighting Design?

Efficiency and Comfort: Office lighting should enable employees to perform their tasks comfortably and efficiently. Proper lighting reduces eye strain and fatigue, contributing to overall workplace well-being.
Energizing Environment: Good lighting energizes the workspace, boosts productivity, and enhances the mood of occupants. A well-lit office simply “feels good” and positively impacts employee satisfaction.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Lighting systems must be flexible and adaptable to meet the diverse needs, functions, and business goals of different tenants. This flexibility ensures that the lighting can be customized to suit various tasks and activities.
Control Options: Effective office lighting should be controllable, either through automated building control systems or by allowing occupants to manually adjust light levels. This adaptability helps optimize lighting based on task requirements, time of day, and ambient light levels. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) provides recommended illuminance levels for various office lighting applications.
Brand Promotion: Office lighting should also help promote your brand image by engaging and attracting prospective tenants. Highlighting unique architectural elements, signage, facades, and thoroughfares after dark can contribute to a positive corporate image.

Incorporating these elements into your office lighting design not only improves the functionality and aesthetics of your space but also supports energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
