Green Features to Include in Your Office Redesign



Many things are responsible for the creation of greenhouse gas, but buildings are right at the top of the list. Power usage, emissions, and the resources used to renovate them all add up, and many offices aren’t built once. When we can’t figure out how to make them work for us anymore, they are often demolished.

If your company is embarking on an office redesign, it is a prime opportunity to incorporate green features. Here are a few ideas:

Sustainable Lighting

Switch office light bulbs from normal bulbs to energy-saving light bulbs. While the initial cost is more expensive, the light bulbs will save you a lot of money on electricity bills.

Natural Lighting

If the office redesign includes a large revamp where office walls will be changed, try to include more windows so that employees have more natural lighting during the day.

Water-Saving Fixtures

Water-saving fixtures throughout the building can drastically reduce the amount of water the building consumes in a month.

Architectural Office Partitions

Instead of focusing on a permanent redesign, why not opt for architectural office partitions? Not only do these movable walls offer greater layout flexibility, but it can be used to help create the new spaces and boardrooms that are needed without buying more building materials.

Going green doesn’t have to mean higher costs for your office. When you implement more sustainable business practices, you will see why being good to the environment is also good for the bottom line. Contact BE furniture for more information about modern office furniture today.

At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion.
