Ceiling lights should emit light diagonally from above. Lighting strips
should be set perpendicular to the screen table. The line of sight at the
screen table should run parallel to the lighting strips.
should be set perpendicular to the screen table. The line of sight at the

Whether the lighting is considered to be pleasant depends on the color tem-
perature and light color of the lamp type. Warm white or neutral white is
recommended.

The light requirement depends not only on the working task, but also on
age: older people need more light. The fact that older people often have
only a small lamp in their homes has nothing to do with their light require-
ment, but rather with the fact that they want to save electricity.

A screen workstation near daylight requires optimum shielding against
direct and reflex glare, especially when the line of sight is directly out the
window or at a 45 degree angle to it. The built-in antiglare facilities should
be variable. Under no circumstances should artificial illumination cause re-
flex glare on the screen.

Optimum Climate
The room climate determines our well-being to a great extent. Problems arise
more often if it is too cold, too warm, too drafty, or too dry. Low relative humidity
can lead to burning eyes, dry mucous membranes, skin irritations, and increased
susceptibility to colds. Things get complicated when people who work in the
same room are accustomed to different base temperatures. For your well-being,
it is important to observe the recommended basic values for temperature and hu-
midity and to avoid strong air movement. The working material itself should not
contribute to the increase of temperature.

For activities in a sitting position or simple work, a room temperature of
20 to 22 °C is recommended. In summer, the temperature should be 26 °C
at the most. This value should only be exceeded for a short time when the
outdoor temperature is higher.
