Sustainable lighting projects: Making it happen in the real world

Sustainable lighting projects Making it happen in the real-world REPLAY

In a perfect world, all lighting projects would be as sustainable as possible. But in reality, we have to grapple with numerous barriers, challenges and compromises. In this special webinar, we look at a number of case studies where the lighting was upgraded, refurbished or remanufactured and explore the obstacles and how they were overcome.

Chaired by Ray Molony, and on the agenda we have:

Joel Smedberg, CEO of Brighteco
Using light as a service to continuously reduce the energy and materials used for lighting – Joel shares Brighteco’s focus on function over hardware and how it relates to continuously reducing use of power and material. He will also talk about the first public procurements for light as a function and how they have played out over the last five years.

Sophie Parry, Head of Trilux UK Akademie
Refurbishing custom luminaires manufactured BC (before circularity) – A step by step journey from initial assessment, to prototyping, testing and delivery of a refurbishment solution for custom luminaires.

John Bowden, Director at Silent Design
Using less and creating more; a case study of smart lighting refurbishment – John will talk about a recent refurbishment of an existing lighting scheme over 2 floors: examining what was there already, what was taken into consideration and what was engineered to get this project over the line. He’ll also look at the savings; both energy and waste and talk about other environmental considerations that made this project what it is.

Jonathan Rush, Director (Lighting Design) at Hoare Lea
Lighting Design in the Carbon Age: A case study on how we must change our approaches to lighting use.

Benz Roos, Senior Lighting Designer at Speirs + Major
Benz will share Our Time on Earth Exhibition/project. An immersive exploration of radical ideas for the way we live. Where technology brings us closer to nature, and indigenous insight reconnects us to our roots.
