Lights off

I am lucky – I have big windows in my 2nd floor office. And on a normal sunny Texas day it means, I can turn off my lights mid-day. Yes the room does look dark but there is enough light to work without straining my eyes. I am also lucky because my office-mate does not mind turned off lights. We hear comments – a variety of them and here is a sampling

– It looks like vampire land

– Are you not sleepy?

– I am pretty sure you feel gloomy

– It just does not seem right

– Are you watching a movie or something?

and more. Would you turn off the lights if there is sufficient natural light available and you are not paying the electricity bill?

    That is one of the strategies we recommend when we meet our clients to save energy and cut down cooling loads. Yeah! more lights – more hvac load – more cooling reqd inside your space! I love day-lit office spaces that have windows with views!
