INCREASING HEALTH AND
PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH DESIGN
NATURAL DAYLIGHTING
Building occupants naturally migrate to space that is filled with natural day light and views. Put our knowledge and creativity to the test.
The RGU Team would love to show you how to increase the health and productivity of your operations through innovative and creative daylighting design strategies.
ACTIVE
DESIGN
The design of our built environment is a key component in the fight against disease. With most of us spending up to 90% of our time inside, it is important for buildings to provide opportunities for activity.
Strategies include indoor - outdoor connectivity, welcoming corridors and staircases, and strategic wayfinding.
LOW VOC
& TOUCH FREE
In applications where hygiene is paramount, sensing technology and low VOC materials are game changers.
Through careful selection of materials and equipment facilities can provide higher indoor air quality, increased thermal comfort, and lower the transmission of bacteria.
