Answer the questions below to receive personalised project design tips and access to additional valuable resources.
What is your application area?
Is this a new build or renovation?
Who is going to be using the space?
This will determine the level of personalisation and/or flexibility our system will need.
What will the space be used for?
Fixed use means that the purpose of the space is clearly defined and it will only be used in this way. Varied use means that the space can be used for different activities, e.g., focused work, collaboration, relaxation.
How often will the space be used?
Not all spaces are equally popular. Sometimes, features and functionality may need to be prioritised for certain spaces over others.
For how long will the space be used during each session?
Understanding this will help us to comply with lighting- and building standards, which make sure that lighting systems can support our work or task effectively.
Is the space likely to change?
Consider if there will be new tenants in the space and/or if changes to walls, partitions, and office desks are possible in the future.
Is daylight available in the space?
The availability of natural light will influence the control strategies we use to support user wellbeing and energy efficiency.
How are you considering to futureproof the space?
The design choices we make today will impact the building and its users for many more years.
How are you considering to improve energy efficiency?
Our buildings should use no more energy than is absolutely necessary.
How are you considering to visualise and digitally connect your system?
Digital connectivity helps us to improve the user experience, and allows lighting systems to communicate with other building systems.
