For many people, the office is the environment where they spend the majority of their waking adult lives. The expectation is that the time spent in the office will be useful and productive, and that the physical environment will be healthy.

The design of the office greatly influences how well the space meets the needs of the workers and their organization. Lighting is a critical element of the design that may enhance or degrade the work experience and affect the well-being of the workers. Beyond supporting worker performance, lighting may also affect the bottom line of the organization by making the best use possible of materials and electricity.
