A Sustainable Office: Efficient & Effective

With GoBright solutions you not only improve workplace management, but you also support hybrid working and a more sustainable and responsible use of the office and its resources.

 

Using Smart Technology

The basis of creating a sustainable office, is gathering insights. Analytics based on data helps to understand user behaviour and preferences. Important elements for making efficient and responsible choices for your sustainable office.

In the GoBright platform, you gather analytics based on booking data, occupancy rates, no-shows and more with 100% accuracy. This way you can reduce energy and extend equipment lifecycle. For example with GoBright Room Booking in combination with the Room Control and Room Sensors, equipment, and lights are only used when the room is occupied for example. Electronics furthermore switch on and off automatically when entering/leaving the room. All this data is influential in managing sustainability in the office which in its turn reduces expenses and decreases your carbon footprint.

Would you like some personal advice in making your office sustainable and future-proof? We are happy to help, free of charge.

Return on Investment in the Sustainable Office

Return on Investment in the Sustainable Workplace

Realising a sustainable office is beneficial for many things. Besides creating a better work environment for your employees and being responsible for the environment, you save money. Return on Investment for equipment for example. By regulating energy, lights, screens, AV-equipment, and air conditioning your equipment lasts longer ad require less replacement or maintenance.

Save costs on floorspace

Based on analytics you can manage the floorspace that is actually being used in the office. With this information you can make sustainable choices, by for example closing certain floors and lower the energy consumption. Or even moving to a smaller building if you need less floorspace in the long-term. Or removing desks and computer screens when the data shows they are not frequently used. This way you can save costs and repurpose them.

Sustainable office design does not always mean that less office space is required. It means that the office can be set up more efficient and effective, which is the most important element of responsible and sustainable thinking.

A Smart Workplace is inclusive

Sustainability is not only about the environment. It also says something about the durability of the workplace and its processes. Your employees’ needs today may not be the same as tomorrow’s. This is why GoBright offers scalability, allowing you to adjust and tailor your Smart Workplace Solutions to match your employees’ changing needs.

Another important aspect of durability is inclusivity. Employees are and remain the most important part of any company. It is therefore important for any business to use Smart Workplace Solutions that are easy to use for everybody. GoBright constantly develops the software to make it even more accessible to everybody. We are currently working on adding options for keyboard navigation and developing colour contrast throughout the software. Additionally, our team is working to create hover states, to provide the user with information when they hover above an interactive element.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Sustainable Office

Explore our FAQ’s to find quick answers to common queries about our products, solutions, and services.

 

What is a sustainable office?

A sustainable office is a workplace that promotes environmental awareness and strives to reduce the depletion of natural resources. Creating a sustainable office is a good way to positively highlight your company, as new employees tend to value sustainability more and more. Having a sustainable office may also give you the opportunity to reduce costs at the office.

Why is a sustainable office important?

The European Union aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement, and adopting a sustainable office can help your business meet these goals. Sustainable practices not only reduce costs through efficient resource use, but also enhance your brand reputation, attracting customers and employees who value environmental responsibility. Additionally, a sustainable workplace improves employee satisfaction by creating a healthy, purpose-driven working environment, which can boost employee loyalty and happiness.

What is the ROI of a sustainable office?

Implementing a sustainable office may involve initial costs, but it offers a valuable return on investment through reduced expenses, efficient use of space, and lower energy consumption. Smart Workplace Solutions, like GoBright’s, enable better workplace management and support informed, sustainable decisions, such as optimising office space and reusing resources. Additionally, a green office enhances your brand’s reputation, attracting employees and customers who prioritise sustainability, and helps prepare your business to meet the EU’s carbon-neutral target by 2050.

How do I create a sustainable office?

Creating a sustainable office can start with small changes, such as reducing paper usage and transitioning to digital tools like Desk Booking and Visitor Management systems, which help create a paperless environment. Smart cleaning with the right desk hardware minimises unnecessary cleaning and promotes eco-friendly products by indicating which desks actually need attention. Additionally, Room Control, Room Sensors, and Analytics tools help reduce energy consumption by providing insights into space usage, enabling energy-saving practices such as “night mode” and automatic control of lighting and equipment based on occupancy.
