Different Rooms
Different Requirements
Public buildings combine workspaces, meeting areas, public spaces, and circulation areas. Each area has its own specific requirements in terms of lighting, operation, wayfinding, and energy efficiency. It is essential to have a solution that can be adapted to the building’s use, spatial layout, and operating hours.
Office and Administrative Departments
Workstations require uniform, glare-free lighting and good visual conditions to facilitate focused work. Variations in usage times and room occupancy should be accommodated flexibly.
Meeting & Conference Rooms
Meetings, presentations, and hybrid formats place different demands on lighting and operation. Clearly defined lighting scenes create reproducible conditions for various usage scenarios.
Reception & Public Areas
This is where wayfinding, communication, and presentation come together. Lighting helps create clear wayfinding, a pleasant environment, and a professional atmosphere.
Hallways & Walkways
Circulation areas connect different functional zones. Lighting should ensure wayfinding and safety while also responding to presence and usage as needed.
Waiting & Lounge Areas
Waiting areas require a pleasant, calm lighting atmosphere. At the same time, they must maintain good wayfinding and a clear demarcation from adjacent traffic and service areas.
Ancillary & Utility Rooms
Archives, restrooms, and utility and service rooms are often used only intermittently. Occupancy-sensing lighting and appropriate control systems reduce unnecessary operating times and support efficient building operations.
Situation
Public buildings must meet many requirements at the same time.
Administrative and public buildings combine focused work, public traffic, meetings, and accessibility within a confined space. This creates a mix of varying hours of use, fluctuating occupancy, and high demands on wayfinding, comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
Fixed lighting can only meet these conditions to a limited extent. Workstations, waiting areas, conference rooms, and circulation areas each require different lighting conditions. At the same time, energy consumption, operational effort, and unnecessary operating times should be kept to a minimum.
Solution
Lighting and room functions respond to actual usage.
Professional lighting and smart room automation integrate different areas of the building into a coordinated solution. Lighting can be controlled as needed based on occupancy, daylight, operating hours, and usage.
This creates reliable lighting conditions for workspaces, public areas, and circulation spaces, while automated processes simplify building operations and reduce energy consumption.
Usage-based
Daylight-oriented
Available natural light is factored into the control system, and artificial lighting is added as needed.
Automated
Can be individually overridden
Automated workflows can still be adjusted manually as needed, such as for meetings, events, or special usage scenarios.
Benefits
Operate public buildings efficiently and with a focus on user needs.
More Guidance
Well-designed lighting helps guide people along clear paths and makes it easier to find one’s way in entryways, hallways, waiting areas, and public traffic areas.
Greater visual comfort
Uniform, low-glare lighting creates good visibility conditions in workspaces, meeting rooms, and areas open to the public.
Greater Energy Efficiency
The use of natural light, occupancy-based controls, and operating hours tailored to actual needs reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
More Flexibility
Different types of spaces and usage scenarios can be flexibly accommodated with appropriate lighting atmospheres and control functions.
Greater Operational Reliability
Automated processes ensure reliable lighting conditions and support structured building operations, even when usage patterns change.
Less effort required
Predefined scenes and automatic controls reduce the need for manual intervention and simplify everyday use.
The difference is noticeable
Modern lighting and smart building automation do more than just improve brightness in a building. They enhance wayfinding, visual comfort, and operational efficiency, and create conditions that better adapt to usage, natural light, and different areas of the building.
