Lighting Control & Window Treatments

Environmental Controls

Lighting

Automated lighting controls are at the heart of energy efficient, green buildings. They initially cost more than conventional lighting, but can pay for themselves by managing the largest user of electricity in commercial buildings.

Thermostats manage energy use in HVAC, lighting control systems perform a similar function using daylight sensors and occupancy inputs. By connecting window shades into the system, the daylight and artificial light in each room is balanced and controlled. Commercial lighting tends to utilise discreet effects, which welcome and guide visitors through a space, and enable flexibility to alter the appearance of a space at the touch of a button.

Professional lighting design can benefit any setting and has a larger number of considerations than most residential lighting designs. Restaurant lighting needs to adapt to a variety of scenarios from bright morning breakfasts to calming and romantic evening sittings. Bar and pub lighting must also be adaptable and blend seamlessly into the surroundings to help convey the correct mood for all events and situations, while at the same time be hard wearing and preferably low maintenance.

Lighting control systems come in a variety of complexities – anything from controlling the light in simple venues with only a few lighting scenes to large and complex multi-use spaces, incorporating audio visual systems, air conditioning and illumination.
