Parans Sunlight System for Enhanced Daylight Harvesting in Office Spaces
The Parans sunlight system uses advanced fiber optic technology to bring natural daylight into spaces that typically lack it. This enhances the environment and boosts productivity. By capturing sunlight from the outdoors, it transmits it through fiber optics. This allows it to illuminate areas like basements, interior rooms, or spaces with limited natural light.
This form of daylight harvesting creates a healthier work environment and increases employee well-being. Natural light has been proven to reduce eye strain, improve mood, and regulate circadian rhythms. These benefits contribute to better sleep and overall health. As a result, companies can experience improved employee performance, higher job satisfaction, and a more sustainable workspace.
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” We agree with this statement from the World Green Building Council’s report, “The Business Case for Green Building” (2013).
The report clearly states that adding daylight to the work environment increases productivity by 18% in LEED-certified buildings. Staff costs, such as salaries and benefits, account for over 85% of business operational costs (compared to 10% for rent and 1% for energy). Research shows that small changes in factors like well-being and productivity can significantly impact a company’s bottom line.
Improved workplace lighting can increase productivity by 18%. This change could positively affect the financials of a company. Additionally, it enhances your appeal as an employer by showing that you care about your employees’ well-being.
As Johan Karlström, Skanska’s President and CEO, put it: “Going green is good business.”
