Lighting is responsible for 39% of the energy consumption in an office building. It is to be concluded that there is a great energy savings potential by switching to professional LED luminaires. Professional office lighting is most efficient and sustainable when it is clear what its function is and what the problems with the current lighting are. It has been proven that lighting affects the performances and mood of employees. To use the positive effects of lighting to enhance performances, it is important that the right luminaires are used. Not every luminaire is suitable. Uncritically replacing conventional lamps by LED lamps and luminaires usually leads to a disturbed light field or too much or too little light on the spot of the actual visual task.

In this way, you will be granted with maximum human benefits for the employees and maximum utilization of the energy savings potential. As with all applications of lighting, European standards apply, which are important for the visual task and taking into account people’s well-being and performances. By following the standards, human benefits will be obtained and advantage will be taken of the energy savings potential, without making concessions to lighting quality.
