Workspaces

The offices at TELUS Sky feature floor to ceiling triple paned windows offering full-height views and high levels of natural light, both increasing employee well-being and productivity. A small savings in productivity can more than offset any increased costs of moving or rent as employee salaries encompass a much larger portion of a company’s annual expenses. In addition, better air quality and thermal comfort is reported to improve productivity. Recent reports cite 26% higher cognitive function, 30% fewer symptoms of sick building syndrome and 6% higher sleep quality scores in high-performing, greencertified buildings and that a LEED Platinum design can increase productivity by 5-10%.
