Indoor plants lower anxiety

Lohr and colleagues recorded 12 per cent quicker reaction times when plants entered a room. Budget owners strike planting lines that lack a number like that.

A daylight-autonomy target carries a value premium of its own

Daylight quality feeds the asset-value case through a chain from measured performance to rent premium to exit value, but the premium your building trades on is a label average that says nothing about which single measure earned it.

No rent premium attaches to the acoustic design on its own

Acoustic performance feeds the quality-to-rent-premium-to-exit-value chain the owner underwrites, yet the market prices it through a label average that says nothing about which measure earned it.

Air quality outweighs the energy line

Cutting CO₂ from 2,100 ppm to 900 ppm predicts a 12 per cent gain in work speed, and staff cost runs 100 to 200 times a building's energy cost.

Circadian lighting's staff payoff is better sleep

Lighting specification is a staff-cost decision, where a fraction of a working day per person per year outweighs the fit-out premium of getting it right.

The staff-cost case for daylight is strongest on sleep

Boubekri and colleagues measured 37 minutes more sleep and cognitive-simulation scores 42 per cent higher in a combined daylight and views condition, and no supplied study prices the glazing and lighting that would deliver it.

Daylit office space in Manhattan is worth more

Turan and colleagues put a 5 to 6 per cent value premium on Manhattan offices above 55 per cent daylight autonomy; what that premium means for one building's rent stays open.

No evidence connects a hotel spa to rate, occupancy or RevPAR

Balneotherapy and sauna use reduce measured stress and fatigue with effect sizes from 0.8 to 2.3 against no treatment, but no supplied evidence ties that guest-level change to a room rate, an occupancy point or a spa's payback.

No study prices the acoustic fit-out into rent

Acoustic quality reaches your rent roll only through the people in the building, and only the first link of that chain is backed by solid evidence.

HR and workplace

A quieter floor lowered absenteeism after an office move

You answer for how the open-plan floor affects your people, but the acoustic fit-out is funded from a budget you do not control, and your satisfaction score misses the 2 per cent absenteeism drop and other performance effects documented below.

A view of nature restores attention

Berman and colleagues validated attention restoration on a backwards digit-span task, and cognitive control reaches solid strength; on retention there is one study, and it dates from 1998.

Circadian lighting does not reliably raise daytime alertness

The measured gains are sleep and mood: Boubekri and colleagues recorded 37 minutes more sleep under optimised daylight; on daytime alertness Grant reported a gain in 2021 and Schöllhorn found none in 2023.

Daylight improves sleep and daytime performance

Workers in an optimised daylight and views condition slept 37 minutes longer and scored 42 per cent higher on higher-order decision tasks. You own that effect on your people, whatever the fit-out budget it takes to capture it.

More outdoor air raises measured task performance

You own how the office affects your people. Facilities and finance set the ventilation budget, and the effect on your people is what you answer for. This sheet gives you the figure to raise with them.

A nature-view claim is safe only as a description of the view

For the real estate marketing lead: a nature-view study measured 37 extra minutes of sleep under one tested condition, and this worksheet sets the boundary an exposé sentence must keep to pass an advertising review.

An unshaded window undoes a brightness claim

A lighting claim clears compliance review when it names a standard's own number, such as 500 lx maintained or a UGR of 19; a health or productivity promise has no such number to check.

Marketing

Reduced speech intrusion is a claim the evidence supports

A measured claim, such as a decay rate or an STI value, sells the acoustic fit-out, because a surveyor can check it against a published standard, and no standard exists for 'comfort' or 'wellbeing'.

Circadian lighting does not raise daytime alertness

Circadian lighting has moderate evidence for mood and for sleep, enough for a capex paper that books both at that grade. Daytime alertness does not reach that threshold.

Daylight's strongest numbers are sleep and cognition

Daylight's effect sizes, a 37-minute sleep gain and a 42 per cent cognition gain, are large enough to defend in a capex paper, and Schöllhorn's null on alertness names the exact limit.

Nature views lower reported stress and sharpen attention

Boubekri and colleagues measured 37 more minutes of sleep and a 42 per cent gain on cognitive scores: a capex paper defends that figure only by naming the author and the limit a finance committee will probe first.

Ventilation raises cognitive performance

Ventilation raises information-processing performance by 1.7 to 7.4 per cent, an effect size specific enough for a line in a capex paper.
