The Scala lighting system, designed through a partnership between Waldner and Waldman to maximise energy efficiency while minimising CO2 emissions, has a reduced power consumption of 58 per cent.
Benefits of Scala do not stop there: a holistic approach was taken to minimise upfront cost while maximising safety and productivity.
As a combination of indirect and direct lighting in one carrier, it has an output of only 14.06w/m2.
Indirect light is reflected into the room from the ceiling evenly and free from shadows.
The proportion of direct light is focused on the work surface with a standard compliant 556 lx.
The new lighting can be integrated in BMS lighting solutions via a KNX interface to achieve further synergies and efficiency.
Daylight and presence sensors make sure that artificial light is only used when required and switching the light on and off is done by a slow dimming process.
An additional energy saving of up to 30 per cent or 11.2 W/m2 can be achieved.
A good lighting solution leads not only to operational savings and a low carbon footprint, but also to improved ergonomics of the immediate working environment for staff, leading to higher motivation, performance and efficiency.
