The trend continues towards lower panel heights in the “traditional” cubicle workstation.  The average 66″ high or taller panels are being specified for new offices less and less all the time.  Today, we’re finding 42″ tall panels to be much more common, with more glass included.

All of this falls into both the LEED initiatives to incorporate more natural light and better airflow, as well as the trend towards more collaborative work spaces.

Management like the lower panels heights as they can see staff more readily and keep tabs on what’s going on.  Staff appreciates the lower heights because it truly does create a much less claustrophobic office space.

Owners and purchasers are happy because the smaller panels also represent a significant cost savings.

All around, the “new” workstations are light, airy, modern and still exceptionally functional.

More and more companies are taking environmental responsibility seriously and making every effort to “Go Green” in their operations, and that also applies when they purchase new office furniture.

AIS, an award-winning panel system manufacturer, is leading the way as the first Carbon Neutral manufacturer in our industry.  As of May of this year, AIS has achieved “CarbonNeutral” Certification.

What does this mean?  Well, in layman terms, “This means that for every one tonne of CO2 that we produce, we pay to enable an equivalent amount of CO2 to be saved by an offset project somewhere else in the world.”

You can read more about how AIS achieved this status and how it benefits the environment by reading up on the AIS section dedicated to CarbonNeutral Status.

Signature Office Interiors is proud to represent AIS in British Columbia.  Contact us to have your office space planned with AIS office furniture.

AIS  is proud to announce that it is the first systems manufacturer to be manufacturing workstations that have net-zero carbon emissions and are 100% CarbonNeutral^®. In recognizing our environmental responsibility, we have offset our carbon footprint completely by subsidizing three renewable energy projects and purchasing carbon offsets to neutralize our footprint throughout our entire manufacturing process in our Hudson, MA facilities.

AIS panel systems are available through Abbotsford BC based Signature Office Interiors.
