Human Centric Lighting -
Dynamic lighting for productive and healthy spaces

Schools & Educational Institutions

Learning and educational spaces have different requirements when it comes to lighting, concentration, and comfort. onework combines professional lighting with smart room automation and Human Centric Lighting for students, teachers, and a variety of teaching situations.

Different Spaces
Different Requirements

Schools and educational institutions consist of areas for learning, concentration, communication, physical activity, and relaxation. Each space has its own specific requirements in terms of lighting, operation, and comfort. It is essential to have a solution that can be adapted to the space’s use, the time of day, and different learning styles.

Classrooms & Lecture Halls

Classrooms must support different learning styles. Concentration, group work, presentations, and creative activities each require appropriate lighting conditions and the ability to easily adjust the lighting to suit the classroom situation.

Specialized & Learning Rooms

Science, technology, and other specialized classrooms place higher demands on visual comfort and light quality. Uniform lighting and good viewing conditions support precise and focused work.

Library & Self-Study Areas

Reading and independent study require quiet, low-glare lighting conditions. Different workstations and hours of use should be taken into account flexibly.

Lounge & Common Areas

Breaks, interaction, and socializing require a different atmosphere than focused instruction. Lighting can enhance the quality of the space and clearly define different areas within the school.

Teacher and Administrative Areas

Preparation, meetings, and administrative tasks place similar demands on students as traditional workplaces do. Good visual conditions and adjustable lighting help students stay focused throughout the school day.

Hallways & Walkways

Hallways connect classrooms, common areas, and functional spaces. Clear wayfinding, safe visibility, and lighting tailored to specific needs are just as important here as efficient operation.

Situation

Learning is changing. Lighting must adapt.

Today, school and educational spaces are used in a much more diverse range of ways. Lecture-style instruction, group work, presentations, exams, and independent study all place different demands on visual comfort, concentration, and atmosphere.

At the same time, students and teachers spend many hours indoors, sometimes with limited natural light. Static lighting can only meet these changing demands to a limited extent and does not optimally support different teaching situations or the natural course of the day.

Solution

Lighting adapts to instruction, the time of day, and usage.

Human Centric Lighting combines dynamic brightness and variable color temperatures with the specific learning situation. Stimulating lighting scenes can support focused work, while calmer settings can be used for communication, creative phases, or relaxation.

In conjunction with occupancy detection, daylight, and room automation, lighting and other room functions can be adjusted as needed. This creates learning environments that flexibly support different teaching methods, times of day, and the needs of students and teachers.

Appropriate for the time of day

Brightness and color temperature are adjusted throughout the day to support different phases of activity, concentration, and rest.
Appropriate for the time of day

Classroom-focused

Lighting conditions can be adjusted to suit different classroom situations. There are appropriate settings for concentration, group work, presentations, and creative activities.

Classroom-focused

Automated

Occupancy and natural light are incorporated into the control system as needed. This allows the lighting to respond to occupancy and available natural light.
Automated

Can be individually overridden

Automated processes can still be adjusted manually as needed. Teachers can quickly adapt lighting settings to the classroom situation and the room.

Greater Well-Being

Daylight-oriented lighting creates a more pleasant learning environment and can have a positive effect on mood and the quality of the space.

More Guidance

Well-designed lighting enhances visibility in classrooms, hallways, and common areas and makes it easier to find your way around the building.

Greater Energy Efficiency

LED technology, the use of natural light, and demand-based control reduce unnecessary operating times and lower energy consumption.

The difference is noticeable

Modern lighting in schools and educational institutions does more than just improve the brightness of a room. It promotes concentration, visual comfort, and orientation, and creates lighting conditions that are better suited to the time of day, the classroom setting, and different learning styles.
