Looking at creating a sustainable workspace? Looking at going Green?
Sustainability is today’s corporate buzzword. Going green makes a lot of business sense. A workspace flooded with natural light helps increase productivity. It gets creative juices flowing. People stay focused longer. And that’s not all. Consider a 25% saving on energy bills! Sustainable offices are far cheaper to run. Does that sound far-fetched? It’s not. As humans, we spend 90% of our time inside. Buildings have become our habit. But did you know that in the developed world, buildings account for 39% of CO² emissions? As green buildings use on average 36% less energy than conventional buildings, isn’t it time that we all considered the switch to a greener environment?
By occupying a green interior, you will use less energy, less water, and will be doing your bit to contribute to reducing the negative impact we are having on the environment.
By using less water and less energy, you will also improve your company’s bottom line by reducing your operational costs. Government guidelines in the UAE, the UK and the US confirm it. They are already under pressure to adhere to the LEED guidelines. The private sector is following suit. Many companies won’t do business with organizations that are not doing their bit for the environment. Most big and small corporates are looking at creating sustainable workspaces. Here’s how it you can make it work for your corporate interiors, First, a survey is carried out. Your office’s potential is measured for sustainability against LEED standards. Then, an exciting new design is created for a sustainable, LEED-friendly office. Finally, your preferred contractor comes and installs the green design you choose. You request your contractor to reuse and recycle the old material. That’s all it takes. Afterwards, you can relax, carry on doing what you do best, and watch your energy bills come down not to mention be happy that you are doing your bit to help mother Earth by reducing the carbon footprint. Going green sure makes better business sense, does it not?
