Edmunds.com Headquarters
Edmunds.com Santa Monica “EdQuarters”, located just two miles from the beach and 12 miles from LAX, create a work environment unlike anything else in the L.A. area. All of the specified Fluxwerx luminaries use LED sources with a color temperature range of 3000K to 5700K, and with a CRI of 90-plus. Achieving a contrast ratio of less than 2:1 in the open workspaces and conference rooms not only enabled the project to achieve a glare-free design but also created a power density of just 0.72 watts per square foot, successfully surpassing the project’s energy goals.
