Daylighting and Tate Access Floors: Impacting the Modern Built Environment

Jessup, Md. -- It's not a new concept that natural lighting can have a positive impact on buildings and the people that work and live inside them. The Lighting Research Center (LRC) reported that environments with increased daylighting increased employee comfort and productivity, while The Society of Light and Lighting has found that simply having a view from a window can have a significant positive impact on general employee health. But how can utilizing access flooring in your next project impact the level of daylighting and ensure that workers are receiving the maximum potential benefits?

While the modern built environment continues to evolve towards open, communal work spaces with fewer walls and increased flexibility, architects and end users are also utilizing more industrial design concepts (such as exposed ceilings) and working to bring as much of the outside world into the workplace as possible.
