PBS Engineers, Inc. has established itself as a premier engineering consulting firm, specializing in mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), fire protection, commissioning, and technology integration services. Founded in 2003, the company has grown into a leader in the industry, with a team boasting over 100 years of collective experience.
The company recently relocated to a new, larger office and saw it as an opportunity to revamp the lighting. Aiming to improve the indoor environment for employees who spend most of their day without access to natural light, they choseNatureConnect to create a more inspiring and uplifting workspace.
#NatureConnect was installed in two conference rooms, complemented by Lightolier Calculite downlights for optimal performance and visual comfort.
When reflecting on the lighting transformation in their new office, Lou Perez, Associate Principal atPBS Engineers, shared:
“As an electrical engineer, I’ve seen firsthand how the right lighting can transform a workspace. When choosing a solution for PBS Engineers and our new office space, I wanted something that went beyond just illumination—it had to enhance the way we work and feel. NatureConnect stood out because of its human-centric approach, integrating natural light elements to create a more energetic and productive environment.”
He went on to describe the real-world impact of the system:
“Since incorporating NatureConnect’s lighting, the impact has been undeniable. The space feels more vibrant and welcoming, creating an atmosphere where our team and guests can feel motivated and engaged. It is a seamless blend of functionality and wellness, reinforcing our commitment to designing WOW workspaces that truly support our team.”

Further enhancements to the lighting at PBS Engineers includes the breakroom which features Lightolier 3D printed pendants and Daybrite surface mount fixtures, blending innovative design with functional illumination.
Lightolier 3D pendants offer a focal point and highlight specific areas in a space, perfect for a break room where employees are connecting during their downtime. Additionally, the 3D-printed technology is not only versatile, but eco-conscious. These fixtures are crafted from recycled materials, produces in the US, and are CRI 90.
By prioritizing both innovation and employee well-being, PBS Engineers has created a workspace that reflects its forward-thinking values and commitment to excellence. The integration of NatureConnect and advanced lighting solutions like Lightolier’s 3D printed fixtures demonstrates how thoughtful design can go beyond aesthetics to support productivity, wellness, and sustainability. As PBS Engineers continues to lead in engineering consulting, their new office stands as a shining example of how the right environment can empower people and elevate performance.
