The New Era in Lighting: Sustainability

The New Era in Lighting: Sustainability

One of the most important elements in the architecture of buildings and cities is lighting systems. Lighting is much more than just making the surrounding objects visible by reflecting the light. Lighting is a separate area of expertise and includes many issues to be considered during and after the application. One of them is its relationship with the environment.

Lighting constitutes 15% of the electricity used in homes, while this rate is 25% in commercial buildings. It is necessary to turn to sustainable solutions to reduce these rates and obtain efficient spaces with less energy. Artificial lighting systems, used when cities and buildings cannot benefit from daylight, release a large amount of energy into the environment. This release, which causes global warming and climate change, has forced us to produce more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.


The most environmentally friendly solution: Daylight

The most environmentally sustainable lighting solution in buildings is to use the natural light source most efficiently. However, this will not be valid in underground and large interior spaces, where daylight cannot reach everywhere in the building. Sunlight transport systems, where daylight can be used in buildings, are systems that can be reached up to a maximum distance of 15m. Other similar lighting systems are; light racks, light tubes, anidolic ceilings and heliostats. The most environmentally friendly artificial lighting tools should be preferred in buildings where these systems cannot be used.


High-efficiency lighting tool: LED

LED lightings are the most efficient and sustainable lighting tool for the environment. Its working principle is not like gas (CFL) or filament (incandescent bulb), and its use solid material for lighting. For this reason, it is also referred to as 'solid-state lighting'. It offers a solution that is 10 times more efficient than CFL and 100 times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. It can also be easily combined with solar panels to provide energy efficiency.

 

LED Lighting products have a long life to pay for itself compared to other lighting tools. It offers a wide application area, has a long life and is brighter than other lighting systems.



Aspen T24 LED Model


Aspen's Lumuner LED Lighting products are also compatible with many suspended ceiling systems. It is designed to be integrated with all metal surfaces, rock wool and wooden suspended ceiling systems. The detailed solutions created with the suspended ceiling provide integrity with the lighting on the ceiling and contribute to the creation of the innovative and aesthetic interior space desired in architectural projects.

Aspen LED lighting special solutions can be used with perforated and jointed options in interiors where volume acoustics is required. You can choose Aspen LED lighting systems in spaces where sound reflective panels or acoustical tile panels are used such as conference rooms, call centers, meeting rooms, sports halls, offices and schools. Aspen LED lighting systems provide high energy efficiency. You can provide unity in your projects with the lighting systems integrated into the interior design.
