Light greatly influences well-being and concentration. It
makes a significant contribution to how well students, pu-
pils, and kindergarten children can find their way around
and focus at educational institutions.
Lighting needs to remain flexible to cater to a wide range
of new teaching formats. In lecture halls and classrooms,
excellent, reflection-free vision is a top priority, while
reduced-glare and balanced brightness protect the eyes
from fatigue. Luminaires should create a pleasant am-
bience in libraries and cafeterias. Additionally, they play a
representative role in the assembly hall or outdoors.
Light also influences mood. Cool daylight white promotes
attention while warm white light has an inspirational and
relaxing effect. Biodynamic lighting supports learning and
regeneration by adapting to the human rhythm throughout
the day. In addition to lighting, room acoustics have a sig-
nificant impact on successful learning. Acoustic elements
optimise speech intelligibility and reduce noise, thus
improving presentations and cutting distractions during
conversations.
By using smart luminaires, the lighting system can be
more sustainable and efficient with the help of state-
of-the-art technologies. Intelligent sensor technology
coordinates natural lighting conditions with artificial light,
and presence-controlled lighting systems save energy.
Above all, the lighting of an educational institution creates
security and identity – and crafts an environment in which
students and pupils find their way around, feel a sense of
belonging and enjoy learning.
