“Examining the Impact of Lighting Design on Employee Efficiency in A Nigerian Stock Exchange Building”

Lighting design plays a pivotal role in shaping workplace environments, influencing both the productivity and well-being of employees. This study examines the impact of lighting design on employee efficiency within the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) building. The research aims to understand how lighting conditions affect employee performance, well-being, and overall satisfaction, contributing to the increasing body of knowledge on sustainable and human-centred workplace designs. Quantitative analysis was employed; data collection and analysis were guided through the use of structured questionnaires. Findings reveal that optimum lighting, characterized by balanced brightness, suitable colour temperature, and little glare, significantly enhances employee productivity and reduces visual exhaustion. However, poor lighting conditions were connected to reduced focus, increased stress levels, and lower job satisfaction. Based on the findings, this research suggested viable lighting design strategies suitable for corporate environments, particularly in the circumstances of high-pressure industries. These recommendations aim to foster safer and efficient workplaces that align with sustainable architectural practices.
