Building in an individual way requires individual lighting design. This is why we take a holistic view of the topic of daylighting and develop solutions that are an integral part of the architectural concept while assuring an optimum level of daylight and a minimum amount of heat influx. Our objective is to provide cost effectiveness in conjunction with visual and thermal comfort.

• The evaluation and simulation of daylight
• Studies concerning both sun exposure and
  the effects of shading
• Design using daylighting
• The optimisation of daylighting in buildings
  Consultation for design competitions
• Visualisation models and calculations using
  the Artificial Sky
• Building analysis and certification (LEED, DGNB,
  BREEAM, ASHRAE, etc.)

We also provide tailored solutions with regard to the design of artificial light. Our approach to the building in question, as well as to its architectural concept and use, is very sensitive. The objective is to create space in which people can both see well and feel comfortable. In addition to the comprehensive expertise we have in lighting technology, our planning is always based on the effect light has on people, because good lighting design is not merely a matter of complying with lighting standards.

• Consultation for design competitions, reports & studies
• Artificial lighting design from the initial concept
  to construction documentation
• A holistic approach to the design of daylighting and
  artificial lighting
• Building certification (LEED, DGNB, BREEAM, ASHRAE, etc.)
• Artificial lighting calculations and simulations

Our planning efforts are directly influenced by 30 years of research about the effects light has, as making sure people have a sense of well-being is very important to us. Special ideas also require individual technical solutions. If such solutions are not commercially available, we develop our own application-oriented products. And we will gladly support you with our comprehensive know-how, from the very first sketch to the final installation on site.
