Light also has a positive impact on work satisfaction and sick-related absenteeism. In addition, light ensures that the risk of accidents in the workplace can be significantly reduced1. However, the amount of energy we consume for our lighting increases every year2. In some buildings lighting is the largest single category of electricity consumption. For office buildings in Europe it accounts for as much as half of the building's total energy use3.
Reflecting more light and reducing lighting energy costs
The floor, usually one of the largest surfaces
in a room, can make a big difference to the amount of light
reflected. To capitalise on this potential, Desso's product
designers developed the DESSO Light Reflection Master® - a carpet collection that reflects
more light and can reduce lighting energy costs. Using less energy
for lighting also helps organisations to cut down their energy
related CO2emissions.
DESSO light Reflection Master® is
the carpet that gives you energy.
The use of DESSO Light Reflection Master® can increase the brightness of a room by up to 14%6 and can reduce lighting costs by up to 10%6.

software, based on closed cell office without furniture and without
windows. The results depend on the size of the room, the height of
the ceiling, the amount of light coming in from outside and the
general nature of the surroundings.
