Level4 - Control Equipment Schematic

3.1 Lighting Design and Light Control Design Layout

Zone of heart

The central heart of the building and the rest of the rooms that form the exterior façades in lighting deisgn and control design were operated separately. This area of the 4th floor is characterized by the presence of transition areas, such as stairs, elevators and corridors, and by open and airy areas, designed and accessible to all students.

The transition areas are characterized by presence detectors that act, in the corridors by modulating the intensity of thelight and in the stairs, by turning on and off the LED stripes that light the contrast between the steps. The three central rooms are open in order to take advantage of the light coming from the skylights.

Zone of Shell

The rooms surrounding the inner heart of the building constitute the external façades. These are characterized by a diff erent need in user’s interface and therefore a distinct control strategy. In order to take advantage of daylight, we have decided to use a system of daylight linking in every room where the windows’ surface covers more than 20% of the total surface. As regards the appearance of light, we want these areas to have a different CCT, colder compared to central areas. Furthermore, the choice of luminaires has been directed towards appliances designed for school or work environments, which are not disabling.
