enables us to come into contact with
weather, times and seasons. Architecture
featuring well-designed glazed surfaces
and a perfectly aligned daylight
controller makes valuable use of all these
advantages:
• In office buildings, savings of up to 90%
on energy costs can be achieved using
daylight controllers.
• Dynamic lighting scenarios that imitate
the progression of daylight support
employees’ natural biorhythms.
• This ensures higher acceptance of the
lighting system, an improved sense of
wellbeing and better productivity.
• When coordinated correctly with
the shutter controls, the room can
receive sufficient light from the sun
at all positions, without occupants
being dazzled or the room becoming
overheated.
Using available daylight is of paramount
importance when planning a lighting
system that is intended to simultaneously
save energy and improve wellbeing.
Even on a cloudy day, the light intensity
of daylight is much higher than that of
artificial lighting. In addition to which,
daylight is available free of charge –
unlike artificial light. The natural rhythm
of daylight and manifold variations in
brightness over the course of the day are
particularly pleasurable for us as humans.
