In a recent survey our office conducted, we found a wide range of satisfaction for an office lighting system that would be considered at least an eight on a scale of I-10 (indirect/direct lighting distribution, 40 fc average, light finishes, pleasant interior with daylight, no glare). We learned from occupant interviews that long-term employees considered the lighting to be just average, while those who had just moved to the workplace from other offices gave it much higher ratings.
