Lighting in Open Plan (Automated) offices is an important factor for the workers performance and productivity. Generally, physiological and psychological requirements of the office lighting are being neglected while designing or relocating of the office environment. Hence, offices become unpleasant places to work in. The aim of this study is to analyze lighting requirements of open plan automated offices and to prepare a set of criteria for the lighting design of these spaces.
