Offices and commercial spaces are often responsible for a large portion of energy consumption, waste production, and carbon emissions. One area where businesses can make a significant impact is in the design of their workspaces. From reducing energy consumption to improving employee well-being, creating sustainable workspaces offers a wide range of benefits that can align with a business’s sustainability goals.
Optimize Layout for Energy Savings
Sustainable spaces are designed to be more efficient in terms of space utilization, energy consumption, and resource management, which can lead to lower operational costs, a win-win solution for everyone. Simple tactics, such as arranging desks and seating near natural light, help reduce electricity use.
Choose Sustainable Designs
Sustainable design is not just about creating a greener workspace; it’s about making a long-term investment in employee health, operational efficiency, and corporate social responsibility. Sustainable designs contribute to a company’s overall sustainability goals while offering tangible benefits like cost savings, improved employee satisfaction, and enhanced brand reputation.
Sustainable designs, like HÅG Tion and HÅG Celi, are made from 75% recycled materials, reducing waste and minimizing carbon footprints.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Sustainable furniture often avoids the use of toxic chemicals and low-quality materials that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This contributes to better air quality in the workplace, which can positively affect employee health and productivity. 9to5 Seating’s entire product line earned GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD GOLD Indoor Air Quality Certification issued by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. The GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification Program assures that products designed for use in office environments and other indoor spaces meet strict chemical emissions limits.
