Glazing has become an important addition to modern office design as it allows for an entry of natural light into the central areas of an office building, making office areas seem much more spacious. Glazing in office spaces has been proven to improve productivity, reduce employee absence, and improve general well-being. The design concept also aims to reduce energy usage and generate more LEED points (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings.
How to Choose the Right Glazing to Maximize Light in Offices
The glazing specification needs to be carefully calculated so that there is no glare or hotspots, which will cause the office occupants to draw the blinds – defeating the purpose of glazing. That’s why it’s important to speak with a glazing advisor at the early stages of the project to find the right type of glazing and shading for the office space.
Fire Rated Glazing for Modern Office Spaces
Fire safety is critical in office spaces and holds tremendous importance in the overall design. When implementing fire-rated glazing in modern office spaces, it’s important to consider factors such as building codes, fire rating, type of glass, installation, and maintenance.
