The quality of workplace lighting is of significant consequence to the wellbeing and productivity of employees. This study examines the influence of diverse lighting modalities on employee satisfaction and performance within an intelligent building. In building, three primary lighting modes are used: daylighting, constant illuminance, and power lighting. A survey was conducted with the objective of assessing the perceptions of the lighting conditions held by employees. The findings suggest that the majority of respondents expressed satisfaction with the overall lighting quality, particularly when natural light was integrated with artificial lighting. However, it is notable that there were variations in satisfaction levels, which serves to illustrate the importance of developing lighting solutions that are tailored to specific needs and preferences. The findings indicate that optimal lighting, characterized by appropriate illuminance levels, color temperature, and glare control, can positively impact employee mood, concentration, and overall job satisfaction.
