Illuminating The Workplace

Post-pandemic the work environment has evolved, and in order to create desirable offices, employers must invest in technology and designs to promote wellbeing and sustainability.

Whilst a great coffee machine and after work drinks boosts morale, it is now standard practice in Class A offices to implement dynamic, flexible and energy efficient solutions within the workspace. This leads to staff retention, recruitment, wellbeing and productivity.

Post pandemic employers and employees across the country are adjusting to routines that combine a return to the office with some continued working from home. Here at ERCO we believe that the new, more flexible models of working will only serve to strengthen the creative culture in office buildings. We are seeing this evolution across the work sector in projects like the White Collar Factory.

ERCO’s human-centric lighting system plays an important role in bringing natural variation to the workspace over the course of a day. While other lighting systems can create a fixed blanket of illumination, at ERCO we provide zonal lighting with high visual comfort. Solutions like the Atrium Double Focus pendants achieve this and support the circadian rhythm, with dimming capability, tunable white light and glare control. These can-shaped pendants bring the high ceilings into the lighting scheme, casting illumination both up and down to create the appropriate mood for different moments.

The changing nature of today’s workplace, particularly in light of Covid-19, means that flexibility has to be ingrained within the interior from the outset. ERCO's range of solutions support this need for flexibility. On the one hand with the Casambi Bluetooth- control system. Using an iPhone or iPad, the Bluetooth-enabled luminaires can be easily programmed to suit new layouts. Additionally, luminaires like the track Jilly downlights can be physically rearranged with ease, by simply mounting them in a different part of the track. '‘It’s a theatrical idea of flexibility',’ said Simon Allford, AHMM. '‘It's about personality and character. You can move a wall, you can move a light, you can change your light source, so people can remake their environment depending on their mood.''

Here at ERCO we are illuminating the way for the future of the workspace with our pioneering technology, we bring to life hubs of creativity, community and concentration. See below for more details on our office lighting cost effective and energy efficient solutions.
