Natural light and landscape design

Compared with a 1-storey workshop, a 2-storey factory has less space to access natural light, and noise-canceling issues also need to be carefully calculated. DELCO pays great attention to the space, landscape and lighting for the factory’s staff to be most comfortable when working. In particular, DELCO always tries to bring green spaces into the factory landscape, helping to improve the health of the employees.
