The lighting system for the exhibition space on the first floor is designed to maximize daylight utilization while optimizing energy efficiency and user comfort.
To achieve this, the south-facing wall will feature a large curtain wall, allowing abundant natural daylight to enter during the day. The overall room lighting will be fully automated through a daylight sensor system, which will adjust artificial lighting levels based on the amount of available daylight.
Additionally, task lighting will be separately controlled from the general ambient lighting. Individual workstations will be equipped with dedicated lights that can be manually switched on or off by workers as needed. This setup ensures that the general illumination remains at a minimal yet sufficient level, while task areas can be brightened according to work demands and the number of occupants.
By implementing this dual lighting system, the overall energy consumption of the building can be significantly reduced. The daylight-responsive automation minimizes unnecessary lighting use, while the separate task lighting system enhances user control and efficiency. The use of LED lighting further contributes to energy savings and sustainability.
This approach effectively balances natural daylight utilization, energy efficiency, and user comfort, ensuring an environmentally friendly and adaptive lighting solution for the exhibition space.
