Studies show productivity increased:
Up to 20% when lighting levels were optimal
Up to 50% when temperature was optimal and maintained
Up to 9% when employees could control their environmental settings
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in a commercial building has a significant impact on employees' performance, influencing everything from their concentration and absenteeism to overall satisfaction (state source – WGBC? See with Anne from did you know cards). Studies have shown an increase in employee productivity of up to 20% with appropriate lighting, up to 50% with appropriate temperature settings, and up to 9% when provided control over their environmental settings.
