There are many opportunities to ‘Go Green’ when updating your work spaces.
Control systems can
Turn systems on and off automatically at the right times
Utilize room sensors to interface with programmed presets for shades to benefit from daylight harvesting and to only use lights when they are really needed
Monitor and communicate your energy consumption and savings trends via a flash-based, stylish interface in your lobby
Tie into your building’s control systems
Interactive Surfaces
Interactive surfaces such as interactive whiteboards (IWB) allow people to connect and innovate faster while reducing the need for paper and travel. IWB’s allow you to open files, applications, share and interact with multimedia on large, multi-touch enabled, surfaces. They also allow your organization to write notes in digital ink on the most common business applications and share them instantly via email
Multiple Inputs and Display Options
Having multiple input locations in collaboration spaces, allows you to share information quickly and effectively. Multiple in-room displays allow you to increase the richness of the experience by presenting information in a one-to-many format, or in a many-to-many collaborative format where people can interact with the information via an interactive whiteboard, a PC or an iPad.
Ability to Connect to Remote Sites and Users
Effective collaboration spaces allow you to bring the right people to the table no matter where they are located. To do this effectively, we use technologies like audio, video, web conferencing and interactive white boarding to bring people together. Having multiple technologies in the room allows you to create a rich experience by using the most effective method of collaboration to focus on the task at hand. Learn more by reading this blog.
Proper Lighting, Colors, and Acoustics
Effective collaboration spaces need to have the right lighting, colors, and acoustics to enhance in-room and remote collaboration. Communications tools like audio conferencing and video conferencing require special attention to perform as well as possible. Failure to account for these key room characteristics can result in failed implementations, regardless of the size of the investment in the latest technologies
