Meeting rooms are where St Mewan offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
For office lighting in St Mewan we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
Our teams travel to St Mewan from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include St Austell, St Blaise and St Columb Major, so we can often combine survey visits.
