DIFC Headquarters Fit-Out

Six floors of low-glare workplace lighting with daylight harvesting on every perimeter bay.

6 Floors
−41% Load vs baseline
UGR<19 throughout Glare
LEED Gold Certification
The brief

A financial services tenant consolidating three offices into one tower floorplate, with a target of LEED Gold and a staff population that works on multiple screens.

Our approach

UGR<19 linear systems on a widened grid, with the perimeter two bays on photocell-linked dimming. Presence detection is zoned by bay rather than by floor, so late working does not light an entire level. Every calculation was issued with false-colour plots for the consultant.

The outcome

Installed load came in 41% below the baseline allowance, and the perimeter dimming alone accounts for roughly a fifth of annual savings.
