Natural light can increase workers’ satisfaction and productivity and, therefore, impact a company’s or project's overall success. When choosing an event space for meetings, look for a space that has large windows. The following guide explores the advantages involved.

Why Meet Where There Is a Lot of Natural Light?

1. Better Moods

The goal of meetings is often to collaborate on projects. Relationships among coworkers run smoother when all parties involved feel willing to compromise. Studies suggest that sunlight plays a significant role in elevating mood, with those exposed to more natural light more likely to have a positive outlook. This is partly due to the high levels of vitamin D present in sunlight, a nutrient known to combat depression and improve motivation. 

2. Increased Attention

The human body reacts differently to natural and artificial light, with some experts believing that the latter leads to fatigue and listlessness. Sunlight can increase attentiveness and mental function, partially by triggering the brain to release more serotonin. As a result, higher levels of natural light in your event space can help your staff focus better on the information being presented and inspire them to come up with creative solutions.

3. Reduced Eye Strain

Due to both increased use of digital technology and artificial lighting, eye strain is common for Americans. With so much time spent looking at screens—both on computers and their phones—individuals often develop headaches, increased light sensitivity, and difficulty concentrating. Holding a meeting in a place with a lot of natural sunlight and providing those gathered with paper versions of the presentation material to study will allow them to vary their focus, strengthening and relieving the eyes.
