Automated Shades & Lighting
According to Harvard Business Review, having natural sunlight in the office is the number one must-have office perk. With natural light comes improved wellness and productivity, something every CEO wants for their employees! Unfortunately, sometimes the glare from the sun can become a bit too much for laptop screens or the presentation display at the front of the room, so managing a room’s lighting at the tap of a button is imperative for any meeting space.
With one tap of a button, you can raise and lower shades on demand or customize a preset boardroom smart scene for Presentation Mode: shades lower, room lighting dims, and the presentation software automatically fires up, ready for a riveting sales presentation or brainstorming session.
Presentation Technology
While we’re on the topic of presentation technology, let’s talk about boardroom audio and video upgrades you can consider. Projection screens with ALR (ambient light rejection) pair well with bright UHD 4K projectors, or consider a large-screen TV display to install at the head of the conferencing table.
All-in-one video conferencing solutions are available, or add a high-definition camera at the front of the room that’s mounted high enough to capture the entire meeting table in the field of view. It’s important that virtual meeting attendees, such as vendors or customers, can be seen - and more importantly - see you! Additional tabletop or in-ceiling pendant microphones and speakers are great meeting room additions if an all-in-one solution isn’t a good fit for your office. Our AV team can determine the best fit for your meeting area, and we understand that it’s vital to select the right equipment that lasts now as well asgrows with you as your business succeeds and grows.
Energy Savings
By adding room occupancy sensors, you can achieve a new level of energy awareness. Lights turn off automatically when no one has been sensed in the room for a designated period of time. They automatically turn back on when someone walks into the room. Smart thermostats and shades can work in conjunction with motion and temperature sensors to ensure your heating and cooling systems aren’t overworking unnecessarily.
When a room becomes too warm in the summer months, shades lower to reduce heat gain. When the room becomes too cold in the winter, the shades rise to let natural, warming light into your space. These shade movements communicate with your smart thermostat to raise and lower as needed throughout the year, so you can see a reduction in energy usage and your energy bill!
