They also help teachers and staff perform better. They can reduce operating expenses. Look at some interesting case studies to see how!

The Capital's Crown Jewel, December 2003, McGraw Hill Construction
“Located at the easterly terminus of Capitol Park, the project is a multi-block, mixed-use office development that consolidates three major departments of state government...... It makes use of abundant natural lighting and even allows employees to control their own environment by adjusting a unique under-floor air distribution system, says Mike Meredith, project director, California Department of General Services."

A combination of well-designed artificial light and smart strategies that take advantage of daylight keep light levels up and costs down. The warehouse’s 120 skylights render its artificial lighting unnecessary during sunny days, and interior light shelves allow daylight to penetrate deeper into the office area.

"Our use of raised floors on a large scale is a real serious idea. We've had thousands of architects come through our buildings to witness our use of raised flooring. We're seeing raised flooring as the standard in Silicon Valley.......We see performance in our buildings going anywhere from 4% to 16% higher in terms of productivity, because these people like staying in the office!......These people had never worked in a factory room-a regular one. They had no idea that some people would be willing to work in the dark and come home in the dark. They just couldn't do it. They returned within two weeks. When the boss said, 'Why did you come back?' They said, 'We couldn't work in the dark.' To have them return is a valuable proposition."
