To produce an artificial lighting design, in-depth knowledge of lighting technology is a necessary but not sufficient condition, given that a lighting design is based on interdisciplinary knowledge, such as:
Luminous efficiency of the human eye, lighting ergonomics, visual comfort
Choice of the most suitable lighting for indoor or outdoor use, buildings, monuments, squares, streets, gardens, museums
Maximum use of sunlight also to limit greenhouse gas emissions
Use of electricity in lighting systems; choice of light source types
Safety (emergency lighting), energy saving, light pollution
A cleverly planned and executed lighting project can make an enormous contribution to the way in which the people will use the buildings. The challenges related to the design of architectural lighting, however, are not to be underestimated. Nowadays, legislation provides for rules and regulations covering a wide range of aspects, from lighting levels in buildings to sustainability goals, and the understanding of any measures put in place light pollution.
Piona operates in the lighting design sector and has extensive knowledge on all such regulations; this means it is capable of delivering solutions that respect the ideas of the architect from the initial stages. In residential, tertiary and industrial sectors.
IFinally, all this will be linked to the automatic management system using the Building Automation option to achieve energy savings, consisting of systems that automatically adjust the internal lighting according to the presence of people and the amount of external light.
