Light for educational institutions 

Learning more effectively with the right light

Light greatly influences well-being and learning success. Lighting at universities, schools, and kindergartens makes a significant contribution to how well students, pupils, 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. I In classrooms and libraries, glare-free lighting promotes concentration. Sustainable lighting helps to save energy and costs. Other important topics include emergency and safety lighting, compliance with the EN 12464-1 standard and the sustainable refurbishment of lighting in schools.

How light enhances well-being

Light not only influences concentration, but also mood. Cool daylight white promotes attention while warm white light has an inspirational and relaxing effect. Tunable White luminaires make these different lighting moods possible. Biodynamic lighting supports learning and regeneration by adapting to the human rhythm throughout the day. In addition to lighting in school buildings, room acoustics have a significant impact on successful learning. Acoustic elements optimise speech intelligibility and reduce noise, thus improving presentations and cutting distractions during conversations. 

Smart lighting for schools

The use of smart luminaires not only makes the lighting system more sustainable, but also more efficient with the help of state-of-the-art technologies. Daylight sensors coordinate natural lighting conditions with artificial light, while motion-controlled lighting systems save energy and increase service life. Data such as temperature, humidity, noise level and CO2 content can also be measured with smart lighting. Above all, this lighting creates an environment in which students and pupils feel comfortable.

Emergency and safety lighting

Lighting in schools should also create safety. With modern lighting solutions, we design an environment in which students and pupils can find their way around, feel at home and enjoy learning. For easy integration of emergency lighting without additional construction work, the MOVE IT PRO system integrates escape route and emergency lighting as well as motion detectors directly into the high-voltage track system. This flexible and attractive solution is unobtrusive in design and creates a safe environment for everyday school life.

Classroom renovation planning example

In this classroom, the first step was to replace the fluorescent tubes with circular LED luminaires, resulting in energy savings of 49 percent. If the lights are controlled in DIM DALI mode, energy and CO2 savings of up to 75 percent can be achieved.

Lighting design trends for educational institutions

Well-being through dynamic light

Light has a great influence on well-being and concentration. Furthermore, light influences mood. While cool white daylight promotes attention, warm white light has a relaxing effect and supports creativity.

Effective learning through good acoustics

Alongside the right light, optimal room acoustics are equally important for successful teaching. Light and acoustics now go hand-in-hand in product development thereby optimising speech intelligibility and reducing noise levels.

Energy efficiency

Clever lighting design offers many advantages for learners and teachers. This begins with the use of natural daylight and it extends to significant energy savings through automatic switching off luminaires in empty rooms.

A bright future

Maria-Ward-Schule Nuremberg, Germany

The newly built Maria Ward School in Nuremberg is a school that knows no dark corners. It draws its character from the bright, daylight-flooded atrium, places for retreat and exchange, and the continuous wayfinding system. This creates an inspiring environment that motivates students to develop their full potential.
