Industrial Vastu
Industrial Vastu is a combination of ancient Indian Vastu science and modern technology, focusing on designing and organizing industrial spaces to enhance productivity, efficiency, and profitability. Here are some key principles and tips for Industrial Vastu, especially in India and the Northern Hemisphere:
Main Principles:
- Direction: The orientation of the building and departments affects energy flow.
- Layout: Strategic placement of machinery, storage, and facilities is essential.
- Elements: Balance of the five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space).
- Color: Colors used in the space influence energy and mood.
