Described as an advice book, it focuses on the principles of good lighting and how such can be achieved. Following a summary of recent research into workplace lighting – which demonstrates the link between this and staff productivity – the guide analyses office lighting standards to see how they measure up. Informed criticism is levelled at both the ill-used LG3 and the more recently produced LG7, and the British Council for Offices, BREEAM and European standards are also reviewed.

The section on application areas offers an illustrated guide to the ideas and lighting solutions discussed. Colour photographs are used to demonstrate everything from poor to exemplary schemes for work spaces including open-plan and cellular offices, call centres and break-out zones. A commentary is given with each photograph and is cross-referenced to lighting issues and product information.

The final section is dedicated to a round-up of Zumtobel Staff’s products as well as a list of advisory services and useful websites.
