Architect, consultant and author, Tom Saunders, gave an ‘enlightening’ talk to Members of NARM at their Annual Dinner held recently at The Pudding Club in Oxford. Members of NARM listened as Tom re-iterated evidence that he had presented in his book “The Boiled Frog Syndrome – Your Health and the Built Environment” which demonstrates how physical, mental and spiritual well being can be affected by the environments and workplaces in which we work. Focusing particularly on the benefits and importance of bringing natural light into a building he gave candid examples of the effects of light deprivation on the human body and psyche.
He urged those present as representatives of the rooflights industry to join him in his crusade to encourage healthier, lighter and brighter interiors for the well being of its occupants.
NARM Chairman, Vince Cranmer thanked Tom for his talk and pledged the industry’s commitment in encouraging building designers to use rooflights as a cost effective and efficient way of bringing light into a building.
