Signify provides daylight benefits indoors

Lighting industry company Signify introduces NatureConnect, a lighting system inspired by nature, to make people happier and healthier. The system was developed in accordance with the proven principles of biophilic design, which uses elements of nature in interior spaces to create healthy, engaging and inspiring environments. The first implementation of NatureConnect is currently taking place in the Warsaw office of Skanska, a leading international development and construction company.

In the modern world, people spend on average over 90 percent time in rooms where they do not have access to beneficial daylight effects. The right amount, as well as colors

and dynamics occurring in nature are very important to us in many respects. They strongly affect our mood, energy level, comfort, sleep quality as well as health and general well-being. The management boards of companies began to appreciate the importance of health and commitment of employees to work. The NatureConnect lighting system is designed to have a positive effect on body and mind, leading to higher productivity, commitment and satisfaction.

"Office workers spend most of their time indoors. The quality of this space affects health, comfort and efficiency. At Skanska, we have been aware of this for years and that is why modern and environmentally friendly solutions that we use in our buildings support well-being. One such solution will be recreating natural light inside the building. As research shows, among others the type of light significantly affects how we feel and how effective we are at work. A joint project with Signify gives us further opportunities to improve the quality of office space for our employees and clients. We are looking forward to developing this cooperation in the future, "said Katarzyna Zawodna-Bijoch, president of the Skanska office company in Central and Eastern Europe.
