How is Lighting Design Like Natural Selection?

Natural and logical lighting matters. When proper lighting is implemented, spaces find their natural balance. The benefits of natural and logical lighting go beyond being sustainable by using less resources or being cost effective by reducing operating and maintenance expenditures. Energy efficiency lowers near-term exposure to price volatility and lowers the longer-term risk of carbon-price driven cost increases. Logical lighting promotes productivity and wellbeing by enabling occupants to feel comfortable and welcomed in their space. It draws occupants into the building and rewards their presence.

We want our environment and our community to thrive. We do our part by buying American Made products, utilizing products that contain recycled materials and by partnering with our peers in the local business ecosystem.

The energy and lighting industries have changed dramatically over recent years with new and improved products becoming affordable and readily available. We stay ahead of these innovations by perpetually educating ourselves, travelling to the world’s most active hubs for new technology and creativity and by constantly testing new products. We then filter the best finds and incorporate them in our current projects.

Natural and logical lighting is what matters. eMatters, Inc. takes prides in utilizing the most natural and logical lighting for our clients…for the entire space, area utilization, budget, and personal comfort zones. When proper lighting is implemented, areas feel more natural. The benefits of natural and logical lighting go beyond just being sustainable by using less energy and saving money. Proper lighting makes the occupants of the spaces feel more comfortable and that increases productivity and overall health. An added benefit is that we care about buying American Made, buying local, and utilizing products that contain recycled materials.
