OPPLE headquarters provides an example of a comfortable office environment With the development of the economy and the improvement of standards, people's demands for a high quality office environ- ment are becoming more and more intense. For most people, office and home are the most frequented places, and the boundaries between them are blurred by the advent of SOHO and the emergence of office diversi- fication. But one thing has never changed; the pursuit of a more comfortable and humane lighting environment. A simple and bright office environ- ment, such as the OPPLE Headquarters in Shanghai, China, can make employees feel comfortable in office communication, thinking, convening meetings and other work, but also improves the efficiency of employees. The unity of different scenes in the office area spreads the overall image of the company to its visiting customers. Mod- ern office space is no longer just a place for employees to complete their work inde- pendently, but more as a communication centre. It is a place for communication and exchange of information among employees and customers.The smooth communication between them plays an important role in the completion of work. For the office environment, the full and reasonable use of natural light is conducive to creating a healthy and efficient office atmosphere. For deeper rooms, in order to balance the illuminance of the room with the illuminance near the windows, artificial lighting near windows can be reduced so that the illuminance of the whole room is consistent. Besides the balance between near- window illuminance and room illuminance, balancing the working surface illuminance and ceiling/wall illuminance is also impor- tant. Through the unique two-way light performance of the OPPLE Zenith panel, the illuminance level of the whole space is uniform and soft, meeting the illuminance standard as well as the additional require- ments of UGR<19 and RA>80. www.opple.co.za/en
