WELLBEING
At Helvar, we take our role as human-centric lighting experts seriously. Optimally lit spaces enhance your wellbeing, increase your productivity, and make you feel good.
The space where you work, learn, or relax should be in tune with the lighting to boost levels of personal wellbeing. Lighting guides your circadian rhythm and helps to avoid the negative impacts of dark seasons.
Wellbeing is our core focus when designing luminaire components and intelligent lighting solutions. As of 2020, our Finnish Headquarters in Espoo were the first Nordic space to be accredited with the Gold WELL Standard.
Helvar Awarded Gold Certification!
Helvar HQ is the first new and existing interior to receive WELL certification according to the WELL Standard v2 in the Nordic countries and is the fifth to be certified in Europe.
The WELL Building Standard offers an excellent framework to design people-focused workplaces.

Up-to 12% productivity benefits through optimal lighting
Focusing on wellbeing can result in a happier workforce. For office environments, this means a space where employees are happy and comfortable, which in turn makes it easier to hire new talent and retain existing staff. For a school, this means a space where students can focus, be productive, and ultimately achieve better grades.
Optimised, controllable lighting can make a big difference. Many organisations have studied this field in recent years; studies* suggest that reported productivity gains are between 1.5-12%*. With lighting having substantial impact on our overall sense of wellbeing, it makes sense to invest in your people.
The impact of human-centric lighting controls
The best lighting systems are those which interoperate with other building systems, and which work around the available natural light to guarantee consistent optimal conditions. The ability to utilise natural light as much as possible is critical when designing a space, and this is complemented by intelligent lighting controls which provide the means to control both light intensity and colour temperature.
Everyone’s circadian rhythm and perception of light is different. Activity, location, and age are just some of the factors which could determine which lighting profile is best suited for the environment.
Customisable tools are designed to meet specific application and occupant needs and the programming flexibility of such systems make them suitable for a range of applications including commercial offices, healthcare facilities and educational institutions, where light can have a significant impact on occupants’ concentration, wellbeing and alertness.
The Wellbeing Experience, located in London’s famous Building Centre,
showcases a workplace designed solely around enhancing
occupant wellbeing, health and productivity.

Helvar Tunable White Case Studies
Understanding the WELL Standard
Technology allows us to design interoperable, intelligent, and user-friendly solutions that enable each of the WELL elements.
There are 10 WELL v2 Concepts laid out by the International WELL Building Institute™, of which Light is a vital element. The WELL Light concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments that promote visual, mental and biological health.
Dynamic, natural lighting through DALI
Fixed lighting is unnatural – whether it’s in an office, a classroom or a hospital. Environments which feature dynamic lighting support improved wellbeing and boost productivity since they more accurately reflect the natural daylight.
Helvar Intelligent Lighting Solutions enable the design of indoor lighting to include intensity control, colour temperature control, and colour control in a standardized way, using a single DALI address – often referred to as DALI Type 8. Systems supporting DALI’s Colour temperature control standard enable you to pick a colour and intensity scene in one easy step, meaning the implementation of a dynamic lighting environment is now easier than ever before.
