1 Commercial Office Lighting & Controls Solutions

2 Dynamic lighting for dynamic spaces. Today s office environments are dynamic, even restless. Teams are formed to tackle a specific project, disbanded, then reformed into new teams for the next one. The private office, once exclusively someone s singular domain, might now serve as the gathering point for two, three, or even more people on a revolving basis. We understand the rhythm of the office. Many of the people who work at Acuity Brands spent years as designers and specifiers. Our field experience, along with countless hours of research, gives us a keen awareness about current trends in the design of commercial office spaces. This is the foundation of our advanced luminaire and controls systems, designed to deliver on the needs of today s dynamic offices. LED technology and advanced control systems have completely changed the equation in the commercial office market, in both cost/efficiency and aesthetics. Acuity Brands makes it simple with a range of solution sets, tailored for each specific office area and engineered for interoperability. Choose one of these or leverage our broad portfolio to design a unique mix of luminaires and controls. Maybe lean on us for a custom design luminaire that makes a statement. Ultimately, every project is unique and the choice is yours. The reconfigurable workspace is becoming more and more common, as evidenced by the move toward open plan offices and the prevalence of movable furniture. Flexibility is crucial for these spaces and must necessarily extend to their lighting plans. Acuity Brands offers multiple luminaire and control solutions capable of delivering highly configurable, layered lighting schemes that mesh perfectly with these eclectic workspaces. The efficiency of LED especially when coupled with effective and intuitive controls enables more aesthetic options in the office. Often discarded under current energy codes, pendants and other indirect lighting schemes the decorative sconce, for example are once again codecompliant options. Sophisticated lighting design gets an even bigger palette. Lighting design for the commercial office space assumes a broader architectural role. With the increased demand for large open-plan spaces, lighting now performs some of the functions previously assigned to walls. The creation of corridors within open rooms; an increased focus on wayfinding through areas that might otherwise be vague or confusing to the eye; the delineation of offices in spaces where walls or partitions no longer exist. To make spaces functional in such situations, the right luminaires and controls are essential.

3 NOT JUST ONE THING. PRIVATE OFFICE A single name might be on the door, but today s private offices just as often serve as collaborative spaces. Because these spaces are being asked to accommodate more varied scenarios, agility in both furniture and lighting is essential A bunch of things working together. OPEN OFFICE Open office environments are trending modular, and reconfigurable. Workspaces are being reshaped and resized, sometimes on a daily basis. As workspaces shift and move, lighting systems have to be flexible 3 4 enough to adapt. Acuity Brands luminaires and controls are not designed in isolation. Companies favor collaboration to find better answers to some of their 3 most pressing questions. It s an apt metaphor for lighting systems.

4 Lighting that works the way you do. Here is a confident statement we can make about how people behave at work: They don t sit still. The contemporary workplace is anything but static.
