Eco-friendly Office Design Tips
Having a sustainable office design makes sense! Not only does it contribute to your company's Corporate Social Responsibility, but you can also reap the financial benefits from reduced electricity bills. Switching to an environmentally friendly office design also enables employees to communicate better and helps maximize the best use of your office space.
Opt for Open Plan
Where possible, try to make your new office design open plan. This not only reduces the amount of office space you will need, it also reduces the amount of office fit out materials you will need to use. Open plan offices allow for improved communication, morale and employee output.
Reduce, reuse & recycle
Having a corporate recycling policy goes far beyond throwing your used paper in the green bin. It means having a good clear out before you move office of any redundant office furniture, unwanted IT equipment and old documents.
Choice of Office Furniture
If you are buying new office furniture for your office relocation, take advice from your Office Design Partner who can advise on choosing environmentally friendly materials.
Offset Carbon Footprint
When selecting your Office Design & Build-Out Company, be sure to discuss with them their Environmental Policy. Most Office Design Companies are now very hot on this topic and will be able to provide you with the very latest best practice when it comes to how best to reduce your carbon footprint.
Energy-saving Lighting Solutions
Consider implementing energy-saving lighting solutions which can significantly reduce electricity consumption, reduce maintenance and improve your overall office working conditions with better quality light
