Modern higher education buildings are inspirational places and need solutions that enhance their architectural aesthetic with energy efficient and dynamic lighting, whilst also providing a comfortably lit environment.

Organic Response®

This wireless intelligent lighting control system offers ultimate building flexibility, reduced installation costs, ease of use, and integration into wider building management systems. Further benefits are delivered by the ability to re-configure the lighting functionality to suit the usage of the building without costly and time consuming commissioning.

Scene setting

Lighting Guide LG5: Lighting for education provides four typical lighting scenes from a blanket lux level through to all luminaires dimmed for the purpose of visual demonstrations.

Simplicity

The lighting control solution should be simple so that the lecturer is at ease with its use without additional technical support.

User experience

Lighting must consider two different lighting solutions working in tandem for the users of the space, namely the presenter and the audience, enabling them to undertake their independent tasks.

Presentation

Lower levels of illumination are required when using modern projection equipment. Controls can be employed to avoid sharp changes in illuminance throughout the theatre space, supporting the effective delivery and comfort of all users.

Create inspirational learning spaces 

Lighting controls have an important role to play in a modern learning space offering a flexible, technology rich environment with both individual and group workspaces supporting different learning styles. They must be intuitive, simple and logical to the user as well as deliver energy saving benefits such as maximising daylight harvesting and the inclusion of an occupancy strategy, typically absence detection.
